Assignment 10

Baking Bread

As if the entire earth is silent,
A  slow      and     low
moan.
White-laced,
a Sweet face.
It sweeps away discomfort in a
      soft embrace.
The presence of honey
as if it were         a warm blanket
wraps around you,



            just you.
The texture changes,
unprecedented.
Almost at its peak,
           just a little longer.

Through this exchange,
     a sense of wonder
               is deranged.


There is nothing like this
    in the world,
A sound so silent,
it    disappears.

As these thoughts flow,
flow through the air
    through my mind,

the light,             gentle pillow
sings to you

it's time to sleep.

Reflection

What did I learn from this class? I learned a lot actually! I never realized how much depth poetry has, and how everybody is able to write poetry. My preconceived notion of poetry was that you'd have to always have a deep meaning behind each word or phrase, and that if the poet's intent did not get across to you, it is because you aren't poetic enough. Now I realize how wrong I was, as poetry is a very fun and expressive form of art, where the audience is actually the one who can decide for themselves the meaning and interpretation of the poet's words.

My personal favourite is the Cubist poem, as I had the most fun making it :) I didn't really like poetry before this class, or rather I liked poetry yet thought creating it was far b

To me, a good poem is one that uses words to create a form of imagery, or evokes a sense of emotion. A poem should be whatever the poet would like it to be, and I think that as long as they are pleased with it, I believe the result is successful. Personally, when I write I like to start with a plan, since it makes it easier to organize my thoughts. Without it, whenever I write I have to keep rearranging the sentences and words to fit better. For poems however, I have to think of a topic/ direction I want to go with; for instance, I need to know that I will be writing about birds if that was what I was going to do. After that, I just think of the words and actions associated with the topic, and am able to write. While I don't understand a lot about poetry, I think this method makes me enjoy writing it, even if it doesn't end up being a good poem. With all my writing, I need to do it in a quiet place so I can focus properly, like the library. I don't have any particular &qu
