I'm not a very poetic person. I have never been a person to enjoy poetry. I have studied poetry in Literature classes, how poetry is filled with imagery, and metaphors, but have never taken an interest in it.
However, today in class, professor stated that poetry can open up to another world to us. It took me a while to understand what he said but after a couple of poems had been read in class, I began to understand. Poetry, now that I look at it from another perspective, is more than just what I had originally studied; fancy words and sentences. One of the poems that were read in class was on what exactly a poem is, and it can be anything portraying a number of diffrent things; such as feelings or emotions.
Professor's poem, that he read in class, provided a lot of imagery of the tranquility of the environment around him; this was well communicated in the poem. But, when I actually thought and listened to the words, that he chose, it opened up another world for me allowing me to feel the tranquility, calmness, and pulse that he tried to portray through his work.
