Poetry

Poetry........ some think it is a way of speaking. some think it's for sissys. I think it's to bring up your emotions to a higher level. You could make so many ways to use it. In science, you could express the way it works. In casual reasons, you could express how you feel. So many ways..................................................

It can help think of things in your mind. When i wrote my book I understood how people felt. What they were thinking. To do this you learn about your self. Let's take Poe.He mad horror romances. he learned how emotional how people can get. Poetry can make a person feel relaxed, mad, sad, in love, or quiet. Peotry is just like music. Rymes in it's own kind of time. Here's an idea: sit somewhere think who you are what's your purpose. Are you suceeding?

5/22/10 Sorry I couldn't get on for a while. Lets look at Poe. He was a poet in what I think is about the 1800's. You can look at some of his poems at the link above the page. He ussually writes really dark poems. They're love poems. But really dark poems. I like his poems. I think that his poems make sence when you try to infer to his poems. You'll see a different, more palbable veiw to what poetry can really be. In ms. jones class when you go to the classroom library you will see a book of his poems. You can ask to borrow it for a while. Well, SEE YA!
