I just spent a good amount of time writing assignment number two.  I decided to use the first technique of starting with an idea and working towards what happened by giving another clue as the poem moves towards the end.  I really enjoyed doing this because I came up with a good topic and made up a different part of the story from stanza to stanza.  One of the problems I came across was trying to place each stanza I wrote in the best place for it in the poem.  I found that as I moved along through the poem that the first lines I wrote I had an original meaning for but it changed as I wrote the poem.  Also, I enjoyed reading my poem after it was completed from the end to the beginning.  I suggest everyone who uses the same technique I did for assignment two, to try this.  I found that my poem still made sense and I almost changed it to that form because it sounded good that way as well.  
I would also like to say how the poems from last class did help me in writing this.  I found that I felt more comfortable writing a line that sounded good even if it didn't make complete sense.
