Last Class

I can't believe today is the last class! This year has flown by so fast. I was really impressed with the tuesday workshop group. I loved Craig's poem with the Beatles references. I thought it was really clever. I also really liked Frank's poem about his grandfather. I thought his imagery was beautiful and the description was amazing. Overall, great job guys I was really impressed with everyone's poems for the tuesday workshop. I feel like as a class we have all improved so much this semester. I have started writing my Ars Poetica, and I am struggling quite a bit with it. I guess I feel like I don't really know yet, what I think should or shouldn't be in a poem. It seems to be coming together a little bit, but I feel like I am writing an essay rather than a poem. I feel like my Ars Poetica is really stiff  and awkward sounding and while I try to say what I think should be in a good poem, I am definitely not writing a poem that in any way exemplifies the characteristics that I am describing in it. I don't know if anyone else is struggling with this or not too, but I guess I will just keep trying at it, and hope it comes out okay. See you all in class today for the last day!!
