Poetry

This poetry unit is pretty good. Seriously, I am really enjoying it. Some of the poems that we have to read for class really mess with my head, but the other one really catch my interest. One of my favorite poems of all time is actually not in the book. It’s Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou. Every time I read that poem, I just think about how blessed I am to be able to accomplish so many things. I try not to settle for less and I want to make something out of myself. Basically, I just want to be successful.

I think my favorite part about this poetry unit is doing the poetry responses. At first, I was regretting them because I thought I was going to be a lot of unnecessary work, but then I realized that it will be much easier for me to complete the assignment if I did on poems that I actually. Right now, I like all of the poems that I chose from the packet. A lot of the poems relate to me in some kind of way.

Now all I need to do is try and make sure that I fully understand the poems because just reading them will not help me very much.
