I’m not really a big fan of poetry, mostly because of the work I would have to do while analyzing and interpreting the meaning. However, if it were just to be read for pure entertainment, I’d probably enjoy it a bit more. Assuming that all the selections to be discussed tomorrow are indeed poems, I guess I could give it another try as to reading ALL of them. So far, I’ve looked through the NYC poem packet and the works I’ve read portray a rather serious and assertive tone; it seems enjoyable.
As I said earlier, I am not a big fan of poetry because of the work often associated with it; especially during the month of april, with the poem in your pocket day… I must also contend that poetry is not my forte and I usually try not to work with it at times; instead, I would rather be reading and have discussions about it and interject at points. Anyways, enough of my random though processes; I look forward to discussing these poems and hope that all of my classmates do indeed read them… otherwise we’ll get that awful quiz again!
