Poems ..favourtie

My favourtie poem would have to be Understanding by Nancy Prasad. I chose this one because its telling you what a poem really is. I think it tells you that even though they are writting it abou them it can also mean just as much to us. We might actually really get something out of reading this because it could relate to us somehow. It also tells us how one poem can make such a diffrence and if it has an impact on you its yours to explore.

Poems

I think that this poem is kind of about sadness. They little boys grandpa dies and the father has always encouraged him to write poems when thing are hard to cope with. The little boy finally writes one about his grandpa. I think the dad finally feels like he did something really good for his son, even during this time of difficulty. I agree with the fact that you need some way to just let all you emotions out. I think poetry is feelings in a form of art. I think it can also be used to help you get over something without getting aggressive.
