POETRY
Guys, I can't say I understand everything a poet writes but I do like trying to figure it out. I feel like there is a hidden meaning usually and it is different for everybody. I think the text makes great points in helping instructors include poetry in the classroom. It can be tough to understand and have the courage to write one. Usually we think it has to rhyme but it doesn't. I think kids may have an easier time writing a poem if they can use words they feel I their heart. I also love the idea of using shape. Words forming shapes or swirls, I love the creative part of expressing as well.

I really think that's the whole reason of poems, is to try to figure out what it means to you.
ReplyDeleteI think you can never fully understand why a person wrote what they did, when and how. So we just go off of what we know and the experienced we have encountered and do our own interpretation. It makes it that much more special.
