My ideas on poetry mainly have not changed, I’m fascinated by romance and tradies in a poem. I did learn how to write a poem like an Italian sonnet and through the video that I watched on “Italian and Elizabethan Sonnets: Poetry Analysis,” I got a good understanding of the elements like an octave used in the lines of a poem and the poem should also be rhythmic and frequently metaphorical. The poem like “sonnet 18” by William Shakespeare, this one for me was personally a little difficult but I then understood that the beauty of someone he loved was compared to a summer day. Poems like the mood and tone set the attention to the reader’s eye like mine (when romance is involved). The video poetry lessons were it was helpful, I don’t know much about how to write a poem I have an understanding of what a poem is or isn’t when writing a poem.

Hey Sheila. When I read a poem, I strive to go deep into each stanza to find the underlying meaning. And when I do that, I’m struck by how far the author has gone to intend and express himself in that way. My favorite style of poem is a Haiku, as I said in my response; what is yours?
Hi Sheila, I agree with you though I feel my ideas on poetry have changed, I never really read poems because I never really understood them too well. I like that in your answer you included that you learned how to write poems and added which poem you like and went a bit in-depth about why. I also agree that the videos about poetry were helpful, it really explained everything we need to know about poetry.
