My view of poetry in general changed a lot through out my researches for my paper. Poetry expresses a person's opinion or it can set a mood. You can become suddenly depressed because of what was written or you the exact opposite could happen. I'm really beginning to appreciate poetry because it can literally change the focus on your "lens" on life, you can learn new words, new cultures, and sometimes it even offers a different interpretation of a situation that was seen otherwise. Poetry has such deep meaning in every line that if not understood correctly one can miss the entire meaning of something so powerful written.

Yes, poetry can stir up our emotions for the better. These swirling emotions helps us understand the purpose of the poem. What other features of a poem can help us understand poetry more or the author's intentions?
ReplyDeletePoetry is like a whole other language. Its true if you miss something small you can miss the entire meaning. Maybe give some examples.
