Learning Poetry

In my narrative, I will be talking about the very first time I was introduced to poetry till the way I read and write poem today.

I was introduced to poetry when I was in kindergarten. My teacher would read us a book every day. One day she read us the book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss. That book became my favorite; I loved the way words rhymed. Throughout my early years of elementary, I would always check out the Dr. Seuss books because I found them the most entertaining.

            In the third grade, I was assigned to write a poem. I thought poems were all about making the words rhyme. The poem I wrote was a few lines long and it was about my last name because a lot of words rhyme with bunny. The poem I wrote didn’t make much sense but it was funny.

            I have learned more and more throughout all my years of going to school. Once I started high school, poems got more serious, and they weren’t all about rhyming anymore. They actually have a meaning to them now, even though the meaning could be hidden and you have to dig it out.
