recap

Overall, I am learning that poetry is a very complex way to use simple words to express deep meaning. Some poetic forms are set out for us already such as the couplet, sonnet, sestina, rondeau and other poems are more free forming. Some must rhyme and others may not. Also rhymes are not always as straight forward as "bee" and "tree". Poets stretch the pronunciation of words I would not think would work together and they make unexpected rhymes. Poetry also seems to be to be rather controversial form of writing. By this I mean that every persons reaction is different to every different poem. As we have seen in class this can give rise to distemper in some off my classmates. Fun!
