Poetry

Wow, almost all of our homework is about poetry! National Poetry Month! Yay! So I just went through and read about a week's worth of poem-a-days since I don't really check my email very often. And I have to say, I REALLY like 'My Love is as a Fever, Longing Still.' I added it to my notebook right away! I don't actually like most of the poem-a-days so that came as a surprise to me. I find it challenging to randomly find poems at poets.org that I like enough to add to my notebook, but I read a lot of spring poems and a lot of Robert Frost--who is now one of my favorite poets, maybe even my most favorite. The more I work on memorizing my sonnet, the more I like it. I'm doing Silence by Edgar Allan Poe--I've been reading a lot of his poems too. I really like A Dream Within a Dream.

Also, this is kind of random, but a lot of my friends and I are into "epic rhyming texting battles". We "fight" over random stuff but we always have to rhyme. Some of them are really awesome, and some of them don't even make sense. I felt the need to share, since this post was about poetry. ;)
