Sleeping on the Wing book

Since having assignments in the Sleeping on the Wing book, I've found myself enjoying the assignments better than the Making Your Own Days book. I don't know, the poems in the SW book seem more appealing and easier to understand. The poets introduced in class were more interesting, and their work was not as "complex" as the poems in the other book. I liked Emily Dickinson's poem "I Heard a Fly Buzz." This poem was simple but had an adverse meaning behind it. I liked how she was speaking on one aspect then included something that was totally different. The assignment that was geared towards this poem was one of my favorite tasks because the ideas came easier to me for some reason. I read Dickinson's poem over and was able to write a poem by checking in with my Muse. In this particular poem, as in many of my other poems, I'm not so focused on rhyming as I was when I first began this course. I feel that my poetry has developed further because of the exercises and poets introduced in class. All in all, I feel that after this class I'll hold on to the SW book because it has many interesting poems that can ultimately aid me if I decide to go further with poetry.
