Poetry? No thank you

Poetry is not my work of choice. Shakespeare? Wordsworth? Whitman? no thank you. I prefer works of fiction where I can be sucked into a world full of imagination and excitement. Poetry has never been my forte and I definitely would not go out of my way to read poetry for fun. Writing two poems were hard especially since poetry is not something I like to read or write. Maybe I do not give poetry much credit but we all have our weaknesses and poetry is it. The only type of poetry I do enjoy is watching slam poetry especially Def Jam Poetry. But reading or writing poetry, I try to stay away from.

  1. I agree with you. Everyone has a particular field they are strong in. I must admit I am not used to reading or writing much poetry but, the experience, although hard, was fun and challenging. Another thing I can say is that the experience of learning about poetry and actually writing some poetry, taught me to appreciate the work of all those poets. Their choice of words and the way they chose to organize them must have been so hard but, their art is a testament to their ability and the power that a few words can have.
