Home again...

Hey guys! Guess what? I went home again. I had so much fun and did so many activities!!! Haha, the funny thing is I'm not kidding. I went snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing. As I was doing all these fun things I kept admiring the scenery around me. The experience was ironic because I started to think about poetry. I asked myself several questions such as, when people write about nature or feelings are they always right there or are they always experiencing the emotions.
So, with that being said, I did a little tester. I wrote a poem as I sat and looked at the waterfalls at the turnaround in the trail. I wrote about the objects and emotions that impacted me. Then when I got home I wrote another poem about the same emotions and objects that affected me. When I compared and contrasted both poems, I found minor differences. The emotions were still in both poems, but the descriptions about the nature didn't come across as the same.
As I asked my family what they thought about both poems they all said on seemed like I was writing about a painting and one seemed like I was writing about a one on one experience.
