Poetry has effected me by making me realize how fun and creative you can be with your small or big thoughts. I have dealt with poetry since 2nd grade (in school) and ever since I could remember as a small child. Reading Shel Silversteen, Mother Goose rhymes and Dr. Seuss books and then creating my own book of poems. I like the kind of poetry called Haiku's and that is because it has such an easy structure. Short and sweet; 5 7 5. In middle school, we often had to create our own Haiku's or smaller types of poems and then recite them to the class.(Ms. Gilman) you knowing my amount of shyness in front of the class, it was especially hard as a younger child. The amount of poetry work that I have dealt with has made me view writing in an easier way. When I write, sometimes I like to just create a more vast image of the days events. Maybe exaggerate way more in detail than just simple writing.
For this upcoming unit, I am very excited about the time when we will be creating our own poetry based on Robert Frosts poems. Some people do not like poetry atall, but it is mostly writers or really good readers of books that learn to appreciate it over time. Or the people that say " I hate poetry " just dont understand the non-literal/literal meaning of the way the poet is writing. And I agree that it can be hard and frustrating to allow the time to like something.
