A New Expression

When I started this class I took it because I was fond of poetry but not educated in poetry. I loved the set up of this class. We didn't spend the entire time listening to a professor talk and never implementing the techniques we were being taught. Every class we learned and tried a technique I feel like we definitely got a taste of all types of poetry. I feel that workshop is when I learned the most. Sometimes when you write you know what you're talking and forget to portray in depth to the audience and so other people views can pin point those spots as well as show you what they feel are some of your strongest lines. After a workshop I always took note on what people were interested in as some of my best lines and I would take those lines and create a new poem, trying to follow the style I may have used in those few lines or the imagery. I feel in this short amount of time I have acquired such a wealth in knowledge in poetry.
