Experiencing Poetry

 Experiencing poetry 

Never thought that anyone would catch me saying that I would enjoy experiencing poerty at the beginning of each English class. But I do. 
It's such a unique way to feel the poem anew. It's different from reading it on your own where your own little ways decide where to boom and where to quiet down, where to add apostrophes and where to not, whether the poem has a deeper meaning or I am just interpreting it incorrectly. It is easier when you can see someone actually perform the poem talk about it put emotions in it, It definitely hits how powerful the poems can be, how strong and mighty the words can feel, and the expressions of the speaker can give me goosebumps. I enjoyed the analysis of the poems and listening to how the person finds the meaning and relates to it, even though his voice is too calm sometimes he opens my eyes and my brain to a new meaning of the poem.
I never thought that poetry could be animated, or cartoonish, I always thought of it as an oral activity, but many animated poems felt so warm and relatable in the way, I enjoyed the visual and how much detail went into it that every little thing plays to an entire meaning of the poem and it definitely helped me seek an opportunity to maybe make a visual for my blog for my poem. Like a small panel maybe with different colors and all.
-insert my ideas 

The poem that I got inspired by the book I was reading. I honestly love the book Where the Crawdads Sing, it is such an amazing novel that I can't wait to finish it. The poem that I have written should not have captured my feelings for that said person who will be back but also the main character of the story. You see when the main character learns how to read she starts to experience property very much like we are right now with trying to make our own little poems, she starts to make small snippets of silly poems or memorize the old poems of her moms. Her first acknowledgment of the sentence is that she never thought "that one sentence could hold so much", to which her friend replied that poems hold even more information than the sentence.  After that, the character starts to create small poems that first look insignificant but then show how much life has impacted her to make the poems. 
This is one short poem she wrote. 
"There is mama blue jay lifting from a branch;
"I'd fly too if I had a chance"

Here is one where she experienced the favorite poem of her mom.

I did care...
I did say everything I thought
In the mildest words I knew. And now,...
I have to say I am relieved it is over:
At the end I could feel only pity
For that urge toward more life.
...Goodbye.

I'll wait for you until the end - by me  trying also something melancholy and nostalgic in a way.

I'll wait for you until the end
 
Until I'll see your silhouette 

I'll wait for you until the end

Even if it takes many nights and days

I'll wait for you until the end

Even if it takes a couple years 

I'll wait for you until the end

When a memory of you starts to fade 

I'll wait for you until the end

Even when the hope is no longer in my eyes  

I'll wait for you until the end

And cold evening creeps with tears in my eyes 

I'll wait for you... until the end...

(two possible endings I am deciding on)

(#1)
Even though I know 
you won't be back.
 
(#2)
I'll wait for you... until you're back and I am not there.

Tell me which one sound better and complete :)



So I tried to make a picture of the cover of the book and I haven't practiced my digital art in a while but this is the visual of the poem I had for the time I thought about the poem.

Read or dont read? Thats the big question.

 Face it we all didn't meet the reading goal.  Or maybe it's just me.  Throughout the week we have talked about meeting our goal to read at least 2 hours a week. But let's just face it, most of us are either near the end or not only halfway done with the book.  Personally, I am going to rat myself out on this one but I am halfway finished with my book, don't get me wrong I absolutely love the book and I love the author who wrote the book, but I just haven't had time to sit down and enjoy the book as much as I want to. I don't like rushing through the book so when I found out about the deadline I was kinda iffy about being able to finish the book. I could either finish the book by spending all night reading or b read another new book parallelly to what I am reading now, but that would require me to go to the library and check the book again. Overall reading a book 2 hours a day seemed like an easy task, but that was not the case. I found myself to be exhausted to

Why do festival rides make me think of books.

 Why festival rides do make me think of books? This thought came to me when I was hanging upside down on the famous fireball ride at Troy Daze.  When I went to Troy Daze (on Saturday aka yesterday) I was very nervous and scared because I hadn't yet written my blog and had no idea what to write. So as I was standing in line for this ride called Fireball, it was not exactly a rollercoaster but it was close to it. The ride process is going in a big circle that speeds up and goes in a loop and backward and then forward and it keeps repeating in that same pattern. So why exactly did this ride make me think of books and English. Well, the process to be exact. You see when you read you go through five stages of grief and happiness just like with rides.  Stage one: You choose a ride. Like you choose a book. You choose by how the ride looks, the appeals of it like the lights and what people are saying about it, what are the emotions of people who went. Just like with the book you by its rev

There is two point of views in my brain

 Help me!!! I have two voices in my head. There are two points of view in my brain. Many of us have voices in our brains. I hope so because I am not trying to win a ticket to the mental institution.   For me, at least, I have commentary in my brain: one narrates everything from the first point of view, and the second describes everything from the second point of view. Let me explain.   Let us say there is a hypothetical situation. I am in Paris, walking somewhere, and in my head, I say, "I need to get to this cafe." I am narrating the first point because I need to do it. It's like an unimportant goal, just like a reminder. But then, for example, I would have friends in that cafe. Now, my narration would be, "YOU need to get to the cafe on time, or else they will see YOU as irresponsible and incapable of managing YOUr time." Now, the narration of that second point is more stressful and aggressive.  Sometimes, my second point of view is stronger than my first poin
