Poetry!

Hey guys! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I went home and enjoyed it very much. I was able to get a lot of work done and catch up with my family. I always feel better when I go home for a couple days, don't you?
Anyways, being home got me thinking about my next poem and the poem that was work shopped last week. I felt that my poem last week was strong and very different from other poems I have been writing. I got to thinking what made me write that poem to begin with. I wrote the poem out of anger and when I handed it in I wasn't even sure how it would come across to my fellow classmates. As I read aloud during the work shop many people mentioned its strength. I was very surprised because the poem only took me a matter of minutes to write.
The point I am trying to get across is that when I write poems that are very personal and current, I feel that they are my best work. I also noticed the poetry that might seem very personal to the poet, can somehow relate to others that read them even though it seems so personal in such a case where others might not understand it or relate to it . Therefore, I didn't think anyone would be able to relate or understand what I was talking about in some of my work shopped poems because they are so personal, but somehow I found that the more personal and intimate the topic is that I am writing about, the more meaningful it becomes to its readers. So, for my next assignment, I am going to write about the biggest issue I have ever had to come across. I never thought I would want to write about this topic, but I believe it will receive great reviews, hopefully.
