Your response initial post should be at least 9 sentences.
Reply to two peers by continuing the conversation. You can add to the conversation by doing the following: offering an alternative reading; adding to something already said; challenging something already said (politely); answering a question; or clarifying something stated in the post. Essentially, I want to replicate the conversation we would have in class (to the best of our ability). Try to avoid just stating, “that is interesting or good point.” These types of phrases do not really add to the conversation. You are certainly welcome to praise your peers, but be sure you are also adding new information. Each peer response should be at least three sentences long.
RESPOND TO THESE TWO
1.When reading a poem, I prefer a repetitive pattern. I enjoy this because it creates a flow that helps me get from one line to the next. I find that I can understand poems that have a repetitive rhyme and meter better than poems that have a looser structure. I believe this is because I can follow along better and delve into the meanings behind the rhymes.
The poem I liked the most was “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe. Immediately, I noticed the rhyme scheme which I prefer in a poem. As I continued to read, I loved how the poem was narrated as if telling a story. I was able to comprehend the poem better because I could follow along. I enjoyed the length of the poem and the content. The dark, moody setting and the intense grief and despair that is displayed in the poem captured my attention and kept it throughout the poem.
I believe poetry has been utilized around the world for centuries because of the universality of it. Poetry is an artform that can be changed and altered to fit the styles of different cultures. It can convey different personalities and capture various forms of emotions. Its still used today for these exact reasons.

When reading a poem I like when there is a repetitive pattern and rhyme only if I am understanding it. If there is a repetitive pattern and rhyme and I don’t know what is being said I think it just adds to my confusion. The patterns and rhyme at times also help me if I get lost I can back up a couple lines or stanzas and see where I might need to reread and try to catch up.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll. I think the idea that the poem was supposed to be nonsense made it easier to step into it rather than trying to find some hidden meaning. Additionally, it was short so I could read it a few times without feeling overwhelmed. Lastly it kind of reminded me of the children’s story “where the wild things are” with a boy in a make believe land on a journey to make it back home.

I think that a poet would choose to write in an open form because of the lack of rules that are needed when writing. Closed form has more specific structures that may not fit what a poet is trying to relay. For example, in an open form you can have some stanzas more or less structured depending on who is speaking or what is happening in the moment, like a large snowstorm verses a calm summer day.
