Last Wednesday in class we learn of poems.  I learn that poems do not have to necessary rhyme and I have also noticed that they follow a certain pattern, like a rhythm.  I, also, learned that poems can tell a story, but not in the usual sense, which is more straight forward, no, they use descriptive words and metaphors to paint a mental picture.  But, you'll have to read in between the lines because as I previously said poems are often not so straight forward.  The assignment this week is to write 3 poems using 20 words out of 25 we selected in the poem packet and post 2 of them.  I knew this was going to be hard and I was right.  I can't seem to get the rhythm or any rhythm down for that matter.  But I'll be sure to post them soon.  Therefore, ttfn.
