Blooming in spring

Making fields colorful

Bringing bright smiles to faces

In humanities right now we are learning about poetry.This is a poem I wrote all by myself. I wrote it in a style called Cinquain. The first line must be 2 syllables, the second 4, the third 6, the fourth is 8 and the final line is 2 again. This is one out of three ways to write a Cinquain poem. I missed out on a humanities class the taught us this, so I had to write this poem at my house. I do take a real liking in this subject. I think it is most enjoyable. Over all poetry is quite hard to write. You have to put your mind in a different head space. I think I am progressing in coming up with better words to describe myself. Something that I found challenging was making my writing fit the rubric of the poem. Dave has taught our class a lot more skills about writing poetry and annotating it too. We have looked at Rumi poems. Rumi was a man in the medieval times that was one of the first people to write poetry. He wrote it in such a way that it spoke to people through there hearts. We took some of his poems and annotated them because it is an important skill to not only be able to write poetry but to understand poetry. I am looking forward to writing more and more every class I take.
