Not as bad as i thought

Ill tell you right now it was like getting shot in the leg! Not that you know I’ve ever actually experienced that first hand but I heard the it can be pretty pain full to have it happen. What does this have to do with?

Well considering the fact that we are going in to poetry and I wanted it to feel my wrath my relationship has changed with poetry in the last five years. In grade 9 I could not have despised it more. Now it’s more of a love-hate relationship where of course I do most of the work with loving it and hating it at different times.

 Its amazing when you write your own piece and its good but when the person reading or marking feels that it is anything but good it’s a horrible feeling and I cant get over how much it makes me hate poetry when I can just never seem to get it right. I love to write it well sometimes it is just an overwhelming feeling when there is something on your mind and the only trying you can do is write about it sometimes it flows sometimes its like a peach pie that just wont cook the way grandma made it (not that anyone in my family will ever be able to do that). 

 I will be completely honest when I say I am not great at poetry. Its likes a lot of the sports I play I’m not exactly good at them but when I try my best its all I can do.

To read it … well if it is good ill read it but if some sort of William shakespear stuff that only people in the era really understood then well it will go unread like most of my math notes. If it is something I can relate to and doesn’t use a whole lot of big words because well who am I kidding big words are not my forte because like Lauren beswick says I’m “uneducated”.

Amanda’s poem Bats I think it’s just because like I said before sometimes I get poetry sometimes I don’t well I don’t understands this one. Well to be honest I just got my mom to explain it for me so now that it makes sense I think it’s a good poem and the only question I would raise about it is what does Amanda mean by the worlds last confession?

Her other poem lullaby is one that I sort of understood but my mom had to again explain a few words but it reminded me of a poem my mom read to me once funny thing is though I didn’t like the poem. Her poem is very expressional and I like it because it makes me really think about what a mothers bond is to their child. Well lets all hope this unit goes well J
