Why we read poetry
It's National Poetry Month! Why do we read (or NOT read) poems? Please respond on the discussion page: Also, watch the screencast on Billy Collins’s “Introduction to Poetry.”

ReplyDeleteGo home and write
a page tonight.
And let that page come out of you--
Then, it will be true.
I am a young, fourteen year old boy,
Who happens to be Asian, and Scandinavian.
I live in the wonderful town of Belmont, in a blue house on Richardson Road.
I come from playing in the school parking lot,
and watching the trees wave at me through the windows.
I, as a young boy, like many things.
Like fresh and delicious food,
and the smell of my grandmother's kitchen.
I love the cool, exhilarating rush of swimming,
The funky flow of jazz, and the soothing feeling of playing my instruments.
I love just chatting with friends, and enjoying how we roar with laughter, like the thunderclouds on a rainy day.
I am a part of all these communities,
Music
Swimming
Family and Friends
Just another piece in the puzzle of the world.
I may not be perfect,
And I might be a little different than you.
Or maybe a lot different.
Or maybe just the same.
But the point is,
We all have our differences,
And community is what brings us together.
