poem questions

 - Examples of poetry are song lyrics, psalms,  and poems.  Poetry is a form of art in which you could express your attitudes and emotions.  You have to look deep into the words used in poetry, because it could have multiple meanings. If i were to explain to my friend that I'm reading poetry in my English class, I would tell him/her that I'm reading a text that has a deep meaning to it that I have to really look into and figure out by plugging everything in.
- I would disagree with the statement that poetry is  not popular because everyone has read or used poetry at least once in their lifetime. There are a forms of poetry that are not recognizable, such as songs.
-I don't remember exactly what the first poem I read was, but I remember it was from the book called "A Light in the Attic" by Shel Silverstein . It was a big white book that had a lot of poems from different writers in it. It was back when I was in the first grade, my teacher would take the class to the library and read to us different poem from the book. When I read poetry nowadays the memory of "the big white book." The book doesn't really affect my reading on the poetry I read now though.
-Terms I have learned from my teachers about poetry are meter, rhyme scheme, sonits, limmerick, haiku, stanza, ect. I've learned to take each line and figure out what it means in order to figure out what the poet is writing about.
-Everything I have learned about poetry outside the classroom has been taught inside the classroom as well.
-I have written a few poems for school and a couple for my own reasons. The ones I wrote outside of class were more like song lyrics, people found them funny and creative. Writing a poem is different than reading a poem because when you're reading it, you are trying to feel what others are writing about as when you are writing poems, you write your feelings so you know what you're talking about.
