I am so nervous for this weeks poem. After reading every one's blog I would have to say I feel more lost then they do. As I was reading the language assignment for today's class, I felt it was hard to understand what was going on. The poems we read were very abstract which made it hard for me to understand the purpose behind each and every poem in the book.
That being said, that was my first impression. After we had gone over some of the poems, I started to feel a little more at ease. I felt that everyone had the same feeling as I did coming onto class that day. As we all began to discuss the ambiguities found within certain examples I began to appreciate them more. For example, we talked about the ANTI-SHORT STORY. Carry had mentioned the meaning as if it was a poem alluding to a longer story behind this short story. Theo had mentioned the meaning as if it was a poem talking about a scenario, but the purpose was to ignore the beginning and the ending of it, and to just soak in the present moment which was "She's running for her bus."
This just happens to be my current feeling about the language book, but since my opinion has changed once, I'm sure it can happen again. So, who knows if I will actually enjoy writing my own form of Language poetry?
