When I think of poetry, I think about the calming and rhythmic feel that it gives off. Although not all poetry can give a “relaxing” sensation to it, most of it is very storytelling in the few words and lines it is described in. Growing up, I loved writing poems whenever I had literature assignments. Sometimes making personal ones storytelling, replacing me with a different character or object or just having fun with rhyming and haikus. Once high school hit, however, poetry wasn’t such a main focus so my excitement towards poetry died out. The activities in Week 11 helped me realize how interesting and intriguing each piece of poetry actually is. The Italian Sonnet, “How Do I Love Thee” showed me that English can be imperfect yet still beautiful. Words can be bent to the ways of people’s thoughts and emotions, creating a doorway to how someone thinks, feels, and reacts.
