The poetry event for tonight was crowded with passion and momentum by the writers and poets. The first poem was introduced to us as a warm welcoming poem delivered by the founder of the event. She then proceeds to tell us a poem of the tragedies around the world that we live in. Despite all the hardship that’s happening around us, we made it to that special poetry event, and the founder was very grateful for it. Professor Ellen deliberate a personification poem that was distinctively unique. I like how my professor is one of the few or the only that wrote a poem addressing to nature and it’s written in personification. Most poems are similar in terms of theme and style. There were topics about race, relationship, emotions, friends and family, hardship, personal growth. The poems about race were standing out in my opinion because it was not only delivered by who are impacted by it but also whoever see the injustices of it. I also like the guy who articulates his poem with rap. It was absolutely stunning to see traditional art and languages combine with modern. Each and every poem have their own uniqueness and story. Most poems are derived with personal experience. Some poems are inspirational, like the one that about “don’t  just go with it”, and destiny is not given, but it is in your hand and The Dream, etc. Some poems are describing the point of view of a person, like Seasonal Warrior, She Expects It, black lives, and etc. The poems delivered by each and everyone contain a certain emotions/feelings. Some are sad, some are angry, some are hoping. The ones that stand out are often the ones that tights closely with ones experience. The breakup poem, the hardship of mothers, the discrimination against black are all great poems that ignited my heart and feelings. Of course, there was a poem about the author himself. His poem inspires us that to be ourselves and be proud of it. There was a poem dedicated to a random stranger just because of her scent of hair. I find this interesting, considering that out of all the choices the poet can choose from, she choose to write a poem about the scent of a stranger. I can imagine that the fragrant was extraordinary. Overall, the poetry night event was an amazing event, it helped me learned about poetry and feelings poet have when they write the poems.
