Thursday is the last class for me. It is bitter sweet. I will not miss the oral presentation, or presenting my own poems in workshop. What i will miss is reading a different variety of poets and exploring the meanings. I can say i found my favorite poem ever so far!! It is called The Idea of Ancestry written by Etheridge Knight. Once i read that poem I instantly fell in love with it. I get many different ideas from it. The first time i read it, do not ask me why, i thought of Huckleberry Fin. Ha. The poem has a deep meaning that makes you want to keep reading it. Anybody who has never read it I recommend you do asap. My favorite part of the poem is

"I pace my cell or flop on my bunk

and stare at 47 black faces across the space. I am all of them,

they are all of me, I am me, they are thee, and I have no children

to float in the space between"

I believe it is very touching and gives you a vivid image of what is happening. It kind of makes you feel bad for this guy who wants to do better, but cant.
