It's now the final week of the Intro to Poetry class; two hour and twenty minutes sessions remain until this course is over and done with. I'm kind of happy, and kind of bummed actually. This class has helped me get in touch with my "muse", something I thought I didn't have - as noted in my last two poems I used for my workshop.
Besides spending the entirety of class playing Plants vs Zombies, I think I've actually found ways to improve my writing. As a Creative Writing major, I took this class to hopefully learn to be more creative when writing - and I think I have a much better stand than I did when the class started. I also think I appreciate poetry a tad more than I did in August.
My and my muse are getting closer, I no longer think poetry is for "sissyboys" (although it's not number one on my favorites list) and I'm actually looking forward to take the remaining two poetry classes - and not just for my CRW requirements!
-Jonathan out!
I agree too!
ReplyDeleteI definitely took this class in the beginning just for a requirement. But now I really am going to take something more meaningful with me, when this course is over. I'm glad I took this class.
I third this! I really think my appreciation for poetry has increased as well because of this class. Especially from the tools we learned during the poetry language section. Understanding the mechanics of poetry better has definitely strengthened my appreciation for it.
