Today during Communications, we learned a new unit. Poetry. We learned about poetry terms and how they are used in common literature. We also made our own poems using these types of figurative language, theme, and format. I learned a new thing about this unit called a poem of address. It was about how some poems can seem like the author is trying to write a letter or address something to someone in the poem. I thought it was a very cool concept and I am very proud about the poem I wrote using that format.

A lot of skills we had to practice were using more figurative language and being more creative in our writing. I found this a bit challenging at first but once I got the hang of it, I was breezing through poems left and right. I think I did a pretty good job with my poems and used the best of my creativity.

Some advice that I would give new poem writers is to just be creative and try your best. Poetry isn’t something that has a specific way to do it. Poetry can be whatever you want it to be as long as you put your mind to it. Don’t limit yourself to writing something specific, try to write whatever you feel like writing.

I had a lot of fun doing this unit and I wish that we could do some more writing in class. Great Unit!
