Looking back from the beginning.

Good ol' introduction to poetry!!!!

Well I decided to go through this poem again (to be honest) because intellectually I'm quite brain fried from working on the independent reading assignment.
This poem is of huge significance to our class because we did EXACTLY what the poem says that people do when they begin to read poetry, they simply try to beat the sense out of it. Trying to make sense of words that seem to not make sense is a hard task to do, but I firmly believe that our class has done a good job of trying to move forward from the difficult task of beating out the sense.
Poetry is meant to  be enjoyable whether it may be a happy poem or sad poem - that doesn't lack the enjoyment out of it.
If I can be completely honest? Poetry has significantly grown on me. Once I learned to let go of trying to make sense of the "un" sensable (lol) I was able to actually enjoy the strange and different way that poetry enables us to think.
