Here is a video poem from poetry foundation. It is short, but I found it rather interesting. See what you think. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/journal/videoitem.html?id=143

I wish it had occured to me before that we could post our own poetry. I don’t write as profusely as Sam, but when I do I really enjoy writing poetry. Anyway, I apologize for the little bit of language … Continue reading →

Here is a poem by my poet about wind turbines. Being free verse, and not having much in my opinion to make it otherwise especially pleasing to read, I don’t care for this poem much, but I do appreciate the environmentalism my poet … Continue reading →

I don’t know if Danielle or Jesse already used our project as a post, but I am rather proud of it and just wanted to give everyone a little more insight into what our ideas were and how we made the … Continue reading →

I literally am beginning to believe that my poet is trying to try out every kind of poetry ever (although I wish she would try more with varying rhyme schemes.) Anyway, today I checked out “Ghazal” which happens to be: … Continue reading →

So, I was exploring the genres of poetry that my poet has listed on the side of her blog again and I noticed that she had one named “rap.” The first couple of poems that I read definitely had a … Continue reading →

At first, I was a little disappointed that my poet couldn’t resist the urge to write about the turning seasons, I feel like its such a worn out theme at this point, but because she went at it from such … Continue reading →

This is somewhat of a response to Jeff’s post regarding the article about poetry and the brain. While I thought the half of that article that I read was fascinating, there were some things argued in there that brought some … Continue reading →

So, I actually have something interesting to talk about other than just posting a poem and talking about it. I noticed on my poet’s blog that there was a list of categories and the number of poems by my author … Continue reading →

While reading over poems in the Norton Introduction to poetry for our last essay, I read “The Night Wind” by Emily Bronte, and it really captured my attention more than most of the others I was pouring over. I discovered … Continue reading →

Upon further investigation, it seems my earlier assumption that Tiel Ansari’s rhyme schemes are all basically the same was wrong. I suppose that just happens to be her latest trend, for I delved into some of her older poems and … Continue reading →

So, I ended up choosing this person as my poet. I made a blog post about her last week so I suppose this is technically my second post, though my first official one. I’ve been reading over her blog “Knocking … Continue reading →

Again, while searching for contemporary poets, I discovered Ralph Angel, who I almost chose for my poet but I think will be just a runner up instead. I find Angel’s work very striking in ways that I can’t always qualify … Continue reading →
