After seeing the activities of week 11, I can say that my point of view towards poetry has changed drastically, at the beginning or even when I was a freshman in high school I thought that a poem or poetry, in general, was just a bunch of words and already. However, I realized that poetry has the power to connect, that is, when reading a poem, thousands of stories can be linked to it. A clear example is in the poem “The wife” by Emily Dickinson and “The Story of an Hour”, a short story by Kate Chopin. With just a stanza or even a verse, you can see the connection or even relate to a previously read story. Another way in which poetry can connect is with people, that is, their personal life or it can even help that person to reflect and realize something that they had not previously grasped.

One thought on “Walter A Macancela Week 11 Discussion”
Hi Macancela, I taught the same thing about poetry, but after seeing this module I understand that poetry is an art. So, I realized to write poetry, you must prepare and put yourself in a good condition to know the basic art of poetry, and the nature of poetry, the poem is often rhythmical, routinely metaphorical, and rime. And my experiences as a keyboard player, sometimes you must be prepared for the muse to inspire you.
