TSA: Poetry

Poetry has been the main topic in English for the past week. Before we started to read the poems, the professor and students created a list on the board. Anything that comes to mind when it comes to poems. Poetry has many genres: romance, horror, humor, and etc. A poem can be short or long, lines can consist of two words or more. Most poems have rhythm and few may not. Some poems may have a general understanding, and others may be a little confusing. There are many different authors out there that created many types of poems. List of authors: Emily Dickinson, John Donne, Robert Frost, Wilfred Owen and Dylan Thomas. One of Emily Dickinson's poems is called "After great pain, a formal feeling comes."  Death, be not proud," was one of John Donne's famous work. Unlike the others, I've realized that Robert Frost has three poems, After Apple-Picking, The Road Not Taken, & Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. A different type of poem written by Wilfred Owen focuses on violent side, war. Another poet named Dylan Thomas was best known for his poem called Do not go gentle into that good night. All these poems are described differently in perspectives seen by these poets. These poems are viewed differently to readers and their meanings could have an effect on many readers.
