As LHSP comes to an end, it saddens me that I will probably never write poetry to this extent ever again. It has been a true pleasure being in this class surrounded by so many brilliant minds. My peers have demonstrated to me that their are so many different ways to write great poetry, rather it be Hanna's extremely intellectual poems where a dictionary has to be near, or Claire's down to earth style. Through the many poems we have read and analyzed, I have developed more of an appreciation toward the art of poetry. I feel that I grew more as a writer as well and am starting to resemble the deep analytic thoughts my high school English teacher had. After Monday's workshop, I was able to really think about what I want my own portfolio to be focused on and I tailored my poems to fit the theme. Thank you for a great semester.
