What place or importance does poetry have in my own life?
Does poetry belong to everyone? How do I know?
Poetry in my life is somewhat important. It is important to me because it tells a story with deep meaning that does not always directly say what the poem is about. It is a way for the reader to think about how the poet is feeling. Poetry is a way to discreetly tell how you feel without exactly saying your emotions. I do not think that poetry belongs to everyone. I know this because not everyone enjoys it. Many people may not know how to put their feelings in poems without explicitly saying them. Poetry can be very difficult for some people and maybe that is the reason why not everyone likes it.
How does the life and experiences of a poet affect the poem he/she creates?
The life and experiences of a poet can affect the poem he/she creates because it will depend on the mood of the poem. if the poet goes through a tough time, then the poem will be bitter. The reader will instantly infer that the reader went through a horrible event that influenced the poem. On the other hand, if the poet goes through a jubilant event, then the poem will have a positive tone. The reader will know how the poet felt while writing the poem. The emotion and feeling put into the poem will most likely be coming from a past event. While I was writing my picture poem about volleyball, I had to imagine myself being in a game while writing the poem.
The poem that I chose that has been published already is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. The structure and form of this poem contribute to its meaning because it talks about how he is sorry that he could not travel both roads. The poem is called "The Road Not Taken" and throughout the whole poem the narrator describes how the road he took looked and how he felt taking it. The impact that rhyme has on this poem is that it has a beat to it, and the reader will be more likely to remember the actual meaning of the poem. This poem uses a great amount of imagery. The impact that imagery has on this poem is that it helps the reader visualize the path that he is taking. The narrator says, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...". I picture one road being split in two and the main character having to choose which one to take. Imagery really helps visual learners understand poetry because the description of the poem will let them imagine what it's like being in that position. The poem that I have already written and chose to analyze is my picture poem called, "The Final Game". The structure and form of this poem contribute to its meaning because it talks about the final game of the season and how the main character was feeling. The impact that imagery has on my poem is that the reader will feel like they are the character playing in the poem.
