Poetry reflection
Stanley S.
Poetry’s importance in my life is very small. As I do not enjoy either reading or writing it I do not consider it very important, at least in my life. I find that writing it has been very slow and I have trouble finding a good topic to write on. I end up sounding very cheesy and my poem doesn’t flow well. I haven’t seen or done many things worth writing, and that would be the easiest type of poetry, I think for me, is to write story.
I also do not think that poetry belongs to everyone. Myself being a living example, I know several other kids that struggle and don’t like poetry. That is why I would say that poetry is not for everyone. Some people like to read, but not write poetry and I would say poetry would be for them. It is like other things, not all people are for baseball, or basketball are they? People that do not like poetry, I would say poetry is not for them.
I know these two things from personal experience alone. Several of my friends, including me have asked each other for help on a topic, that usually does not turn out well. I also know that many people don’t like poetry and surely do not like writing it, I think that if you asked them, they would tell you straight up that poetry was not for them. Again, things like music, sports, and other things, people say all the time is not for them. Like people being less athletic than another, the same sort of rule applies for poetry, people that are in that mental mind set will do much better than those not.
They life and experiences of a poet affects the poem that he or she creates drastically. If the poet has a bad childhood, many of the poems could be bad as well, or just the opposite. For example, if someone only knows of gum drops and unicorns, they won’t be writing about the monster under the bed. The experiences of the poet is the poem.
