Vincent - Poetry


I’m choosing poetry as one of my reflection blogs because of the role it has played throughout my life. For much of my life I didn’t pay much attention to it. Poetry always seemed boring, and frivolous to me. Too much work for no real reason. I suppose the reason was for some sort of “moral understanding” or some kind of “Inner revelation,” but these things didn’t interest adolescent Me. But now as I reflect on it in the context of this class, I really enjoy the potential poetry has on our lives, and how important it really is. It reveals the commonalities of man and truths unseen to most. Studying poetry and different poets also teaches about different modes of thinking and unique ideas, somethings that are often missing in our popular culture.
