Poetry

In English, we are starting our poetry unit.  The last time we studied Poetry was in 6th grade and I struggled with it.  We had to write about 10 different types of poems and make a little booklet.  Then we had to present and read these poems out to the class which was quite embarrassing because my poems usually arent that great. I would love to become better at writing poetry over this next quarter because I think it is such a cool way to express your thoughts and feelings, and when it's done right it sounds amazing.

The poetry book that we got in class is really nice, new, and clean; it makes me want to annotate them.  It's interesting to try to figure out a poem because I feel like i'm trying to figure out a puzzle.  It's almost like your trying to crawl into the authors mind to try to figure out his thoughts.  I hope poetry becomes more fun and less of a struggle this quarter so I can focus more on enjoying it.  I also hope that I can become better at writing poems and to be proud of the poems that I write.
