I really enjoyed the uniqueness of the poems that were in the poetry packet. My favorite poems are the ones I can comprehend easy. The World Is to Much With Us by James Wright was a bit over my head but I really like the poem When We Two Parted, I connected with the poem because I have lost people I have been close to. I think writing poems is a good way for somebody to express how their emotions. I have always struggled when it has come to writing poems but I like reading them. I feel that everyone interprets poems differently depending on the emotions they are feeling themselves. I feel like many could interpret the Barbie Doll poem differently. I felt like the poem was about how the world views women now days. We are all supposed to look like a barbie doll and if we don't then we are not pretty but I feel that the poem expresses that many women try to change there looks to look like the image of a barbie doll.
I felt the poem To My Dear Loving Husband was really sweet. My husband wrote me a poem once and it meant a lot to me that he would take the time to write the poem for me. I like the line My love is such that rivers cannot quench. It puts good imagery in your mind of how much move the writer has for her husband. I have noticed that after reading these poems many of them have lots of imagery. The poem Resume was really simple and it felt like a darker poem.
The last time I wrote a poem was when I was in High School. I enjoyed these poems and they made me really think about what the deeper meaning was.

Poetry is a good way to make your feelings have impact. They help us focus on what we want to say more clearly than prose does, sometimes. I often write poetry, but I find it is a personal thing, like journaling - nobody else wants to or needs to read it for me to be fulfiilled.
