Poetry to me
Whenever I hear the word "poetry," I think back to years in school when teachers used to make you read poems and dissect them to get every last piece of symbolism and meaning out of them. I hated doing this. I like reading a poem and enjoying it- I do not like to pick them apart. I do enjoy reading poetry, though. I find it very nice because you get to explore the deep side of people and sometimes you feel a connection to what they are saying, and that makes you think about something in your life. Poetry is just a link to the deeper side of a person and it is amazing.

I agree with you. I think poetry is more enjoyable when i just read it, to read it. Not when I have to analyze it. Poetry is pure enjoyment for me, analyzing it makes it too much work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I also think of how teachers made me always pick them apart and it really does make them no fun and makes you just dread hearing the word poety.
ReplyDeleteI agree, i think of back in the day when first started reading poems, i used to HATE them, but now they aren't as bad.
