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.
