"Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow, have to save Maggie, have to save Jack, Hook is back"

I do have to agree with Jess, it would be nice if we could get some more time on workshops. I think it would be nice if we had enough time to allow the author of the poem read their poem to the rest of the group. I think really helps us get a feel for how the poem was supposed to be read since that is not always clear sometimes.
I also am huge fan of the little activities we do in class such as the activity of the Vilanelles and the story thing we did on Tuesday. I really think these activities not only work on our creativeness but they also really help me understand and make easier writing some of these poems.
I also found the Oulipo and Dada concept pretty confusing. At least until we did some of the exercises and explained what it actually was a little bit more. I don't know, but this Oulipo thing to me really sounded a little far fetched but I guess a pretty cool way to write something.
I did like that N+7 idea that we read about. It sounds like a really cool way to kind of change the poem around and see what we get. It is sort of like mad libs I think in a way. I also really enjoyed the discussion about what is art. It really got me thinking what art actually is. I would actually have to say that art can be anything. I really feel that it is just the way a person views something or looks at something in a particular way. Art is just someones own personal opinion and what one person considers art will be garbage to another person. So that is kind of how I feel about the what is art topic.
