Poetry Stuff

My experiences with poetry have been few and far between, limited to once-a-year units in various English classes. But just from that, I know what poetry is, I can usually tell a deeper meaning to them, and even have two favorite types of poetry, one for reading (limericks) and one for writing (concrete poems). Oddly enough, though, my favorite poem of all time is neither a limerick or a concrete poem. It is “The Cremation of Sam McGee” by Robert W. Service. I don’t really know why I love this poem, I just do. I first read it in 8^th grade English and have never forgotten it.

Nowadays, I’m kind of partial to poetry. I neither love it nor hate it. Because of the English level I’m at, I don’t expect to be reading many limericks or concrete poems for school, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying them when I get the chance.
Now here is a random concrete poem I just did.
