In all of my years of school, i have had many opportunities to study, and create poetry. I remember going out to gardens with my class in elementary school and writing poems about what we see and how it made us feel. One positive experience I had with poetry is another time we went to a garden. Our teacher had us make our own little sketch/ poetry book, and we went and sat by different plants of our choice to draw them and describe them in poetry. We went out there every day for about a week and sat peacefully and wrote.
At the end of the week, we chose our favorite picture and poem to share with the class. some were silly, and some were serious. It all depended on the maturity level of the classmate. Each poem was different, and had its own flow to it. Our class thoroughly enjoyed it.
Right now, My attitude towards poetry isn't the same as when I was younger. I don't enjoy it as much, But if I get into it, it becomes fun. I prefer the poems that are short and humorous rather than the long sort of depressing ones., so I have sort of mixed feelings about launching into our Poetry unit.
