This week has been very tight and busy with it being a short week because I also want to get most of my homework done before the break for a stress free weekend. The poems were definitely an interesting start to the week since I was not quite sure what to expect. I was really excited to start reading shorter poems rather than the longer stories, but when I read the first poem I was really worried because I didn’t understand the first poem as much as I had wanted to. After reading the first poem, I did a little bit of research so I could understand it better. The second poem I read got a little better, and then the third even more, and so on. I just had to get used to the kind of poems I was going to be reading.
My favorite poem this week was “To a Daughter Leaving Home.” This poem was easy to read, and flashbacked to the happy memories of childhood. This poem did not jump around here to there and so forth, but they stayed on one track and explained it clearly and understandably.
A few more poems that I found interesting and enjoyable included “Daystar”, “

Jessica,
I really liked that poem as well, and it brought me back to my childhood years and riding a bike. Its just crazy to me that someone can write such a short piece of literature, but it can be published and be a real work of art, and can relate to so many people.
Jessica,
Like you I liked that poem as well. It definately took me back to my childhood days!! I agree with Jenna that such a short piece of literature can be published and considered a real work of art and yet related to so many people! Have a great weekend!!
