Poetry can relate to my life, because
I can relate to it. All poems have a meaning to it, and almost everyone can
relate to it. Poetry can sometimes be confusing, but in the end you will get
it, and relate that to your life. I have read lots of poems, and most of them
have changed what I think about things. Before this poetry unit I didn't like
poetry that much. I thought it was confusing and boring. Now that we have
learned the meanings of poems, and even wrote some poems ourselves I have learned
to enjoy them more. If you learn to understand poetry you will like
reading them more often.
I think poetry does
belong to everyone. Everyone might not like poetry, but I think some poems can
relate to everyone. Even if poems might be confusing for some people once you
take the time to read them and think about it, it may become one of your
favorites. The first time I read "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
I did not like it because I did not understand it. Then when I got to
understand it, I learned that it can relate to me, and that is now my favorite
poem. Sometimes the most confusing poems can really change what you think
of something. There has to be at least one poem that can relate to you. I know a lot of people who dislike poetry. They probably have not read a poem that they can
relate to.
The life and experiences
of a poet can affect the way he/she writes in many ways. If a poet had a lot of
deaths in his or her family, he or she will probably write with more emotion.
If a poet had a happy life and never really had any bad experiences, he or she will
most likely write humorous poems. They write about these topics because they
have experienced this, so it will make it easier to write. If someone had a
very tragic life, he or she will have a hard time to write funny poems. When
I write poems I don’t write them to have a negative connotation. That’s because
I haven’t had a really sad or bad experience in my life.
