Maybe its because i never studied Shakespeare in high school or just a mere disinterest in poetry that causes me to not like this genre, either way i found them pretty boring! For me it is hard to understand what is being said or what is meant by these words.
I find poetry that I understand to be very interesting, but i think I'm more into spoken word. What i will say is that the humor in the poems intrigued me. Ii gravitated towards Berrigan more than Shakespeare because I knew of some of the pop culture references in to which he referred.
Although I don't quite understand it Ihave a respect for it because they are following a guideline, like get your point across in 14 lines, make it about love, but there is also a poetic license where they get to be creative which was showcased in the berrigan XV sonnet (In which the poem was inverted). For me using these as a model or inspiration was interesting i tried to make it non traditional and almost like the downside of love but also try to keep it light and humorous.
Children"s Rhymes
I chose this poem to look closely at because its "familiar." where i went to school we studied more poets from the Harlem Renaissance era than Shakespeare so for me i understood the poem, i liked how it looked visually as well as the story it was telling. by the way the poem was set up you could tell the tone of it changed with each indented paragraph. its a play on children having fun and being careless while other people see the world for what it really is. full of problems, and one-sided and unfair.
Overall, I'm looking forward to moving on from this section but there is nothing wrong with being exposed to something new.
