Reflection

When we were given this assignment to write a 12 – 30 line poem inspired by one of two poems we had read in class. At first I had know idea what to write about but I eventually found a topic. I wrote this big long poem and then decided that I didn’t like it, so I wrote this one instead and I’m much more satisfied with it. This poem is about my struggles socially and really trying to put words to how I feel. something I think I did well with this poem would be my use of literary devices such as metaphors, imagery, etc. something I could improve would be my ability to think creatively about my topic. I have done most of my poems on similar dark topics so I think I could be a little braver and more adventurous to try and do something different, both with my poetry and my social struggles.
