Poetry

my relationship with poetry is definatley a love-hate relationship. I've studied it and usually enjoy it, it depends on the poem, most of the time i dont like the poems we read in school because i find them not very exciting or in depth and i like things that are "in depth" and they dig "deep" because i find people and including myself can relate more to things that people are feeling and understand that someone has been there and feel the same way. i like writing poetry, or atleast i use to. i use to always write poetry ranging from just a rhymnig scheme about an animal or something and would always write a poem for my mom on mothers day describing why shes a great mom, but i have also wrote deeper stuff that maybe certain people can connect to, and these ones dont rhyme. so in general poetry for me is a pretty neutral thing depending on what type of poem we are doing.

i read the poems and i really like the ones with the Greek Mythology references. i have studied Greek mythology on my own time so i find it very interesting that she incorporates that into her poems it also seems to bring a certain essence to it, i think her way of just writing is very descriptive and to be honest quite beautiful, i specifically liked the poem Lullaby because i found it more descriptive and more mysterious, it was quite intriguing.
