In Class Blog 5

This week class reading was the Intro of Poetry. Since we been doing this type of readings I'm starting to get the concept of the sections. In this reading it had a lot of terminology then the previous sections. The text really broke down the fundamentals of poetry out of all the reading we did this is my least favorite because we are getting into the poetry mode I think poetry is the best way to express yourself but it is hard to read; when I read a poem I can never comprehend what I read I think I actually go through all the steps on how to read a poem I can probably get some of them but without direction I wouldn't get it at all. When we got the assignment to pick a poem of our choice I really didn't think I would find one because of my background of reading poems so I was glad that the book put them in categories because it gave me ideas of what kind of poem I was interested in. When we got into our groups and everyone read their poem they picked I still didn't get them until we started to discuss them. After being in this class I realized that having discussions is the key to understanding anything you do not know. I'm really skeptical of the writing my own poem hopefully the exercises will really help me come up with something creative maybe better then my flash fiction story.
