Poetry!

Wednesday, July 2, 2014

Today I decided to write a few different types of poems for fun. I’m not very talented within poetry, however, when I was younger I really enjoyed writing them. I love to listen to people read them aloud. Poetry has such a beautiful flow to it and can create a beautiful picture that nothing else can. Walt Whittman’s poetry is soothing to the sole to hear and to read. While I was in Junior High my English teacher required that all of her students memorize and say a poem in front of the class each year. In 7^th grade we were to memorize Oh Captain my Captain and then in 8^th grade we had to memorize Two Roads diverged in a Yellow Wood. I can still pronounce some stanzas from those poems still to this day. At the time, it seemed as though it was an extremely difficult and scary task, but now I look back with gratitude to my junior high English teacher. She really helped me acquire a deeper knowledge within English and in particularly in poetry. Before her I didn’t know a whole lot about the different types of poetry. I can’t tell you all about them now, but at the time I felt like I had a good knowledge about poetry. Anyway, I enjoy poetry and even though these are just simple little ones I hope you enjoy them!
