The Majestic Parody: Personal Narrative Poem
The poetry was a fun activity, for it made me use my imagination to create titles and come up with a poem that would go with it. I must say some of the poems were a lot easier to write than the others. The transformation, welcome, acrostic, bio, ode, change, list, concrete, parody, and my favorite place poem were the easiest while the rest, not so much. The narrative poem was one of the hardest to write because I had a hard time following a certain foot and meter. The hokku was difficult was difficult because a certain line had to be a certain number of syllables. Also, it was hard to put a poem into a three line 3-5-3 syllable pattern. The found poem was quite hard due to the cause that I had to take another piece of writing, change around the words, and create a poem. The limerick was difficult in the sense of the foot and meter and rhyming. Having to write in a certain foot and meter in not a simple task, because the word must be chosen correctly it has to be in anapestic trimeter and dimeter. The Elizabethan sonnet is a lot better than the Italian sonnet, because I did the Elizabethan sonnet in a group. Also the Italian sonnet is difficult because the poem has to follow a rhyme scheme and it has to be in iambic pentameter. …show more content…
I had to use my imagination and creativity to make these poems. Some poems did take longer than others, but no poem took longer than an hour. The reason it took longer on some than others was because the ones that had a certain rhyme scheme or foot and meter. The narrative poem was the hardest for this reason, because for that poem I had to write a whole page in a certain foot and meter. The hardest part of the process of writing the poems was to rhyme them in a certain way, and following the specific rules of the poems. The poems that I was allowed to write in free verse took a lot less

    Organic poetry generally seems to be the most common type of poetry. To me, they are the easiest to come by, but aren’t always the easiest to understand simply because they are taken straight from random thoughts of the poet and jotted down on paper, a napkin, or any kind of canvas available to that poet. Although they don’t have much planning and are difficult to decipher, it is possible. When Patricia Smith wrote “What It’s Like to Be a Black Girl (for Those of You Who Aren’t)” (854) she was simply telling us about her experiences in life as she grew up. She may not spell out everything she is saying, but expects the reader to pick up on it. This tendency is also carried out in “Surprise” (899) and “Summer Words…

    In my mind, I am not a creative person, I am like a robot when it comes to music. I do not like to put my own spin and create something new. I love to stick to what is written and play it exactly as though it was coming out of a computer. Having the freedom to compose anything that I wanted and relate it back to the piece was a challenge, but I managed to pull through at the end. Another challenge was creating a melody that expressed the poem correctly.…

    Writing was extremely difficult for me when I was younger, mainly because the great ideas I had in my head would not sound so great when I wrote them down on paper. It would sound so perfect to me, yet didn’t make any sense to someone else. Also, I dislike writing for the simple fact that there are a lot of rules to it. Throughout my high school years, I was a poor writer, and it came to my attention in my English 1101 class last year. I failed it the first time, because of not knowing how to get my thoughts to come together without them being all over the place. Retaking that course has really helped me get more focused on my writing skills.…

    Lastly, writing poetry has become my passion. It is the perfect way for me to express the emotions I feel in a manner that is not very common. I can always look back at old poetry and relive a few unforgettable memories. Creating poems is also a type of escape from all the exasperating events that are currently occurring in my life. Nevertheless, it is something I do on a daily basis and I could not live without.…

    “A Moment in Chess” is a parody of Margaret Atwood’s “The Moment”, which depicts a tragic moment when a seemingly winning chess position suddenly turns out to be the opposite. In this poem, chess acts as an extended metaphor for life. Chess is but a game of life, filled with “planned strategies”, “crafted tactics”, wins and losses. While maintaining Atwood’s structure, through the usage of diction, style, and various literary devices, this poem purveys a strong message – any form of success in life cannot be taken…

    Something that I found interesting while reading this interview is when Paz spoke of his process of writing. He never really had a certain schedule when it came to it. He would only do it whenever he found the time for it. Also I find it interesting how he would use the rhythm of walking to help him fix his verses. I do a bit of writing myself and I tend to struggle when it comes to make my verses flow, so I am going to see if this helps me with my own projects. When Paz speaks of writing as something he enjoys or struggles with, he says it is a bit of both. In the beginning it is a painful process in which “the sensation of failure is inevitable”, like he would say, “writing is a curse”. It isn’t until the first phrase is written that everything changes and writing becomes into a blessing.…

    At one point in our lives, we all wonder what is a sonnet. A sonnet is a short poem that is slightly misunderstood and has fourteen lines in iambic pentameter with a meticulously patterned rhyme scheme. The sonnet has a reputation for being very complex, and hard to understand at times. Contrary to the popular belief, sonnets do not need to fit one specific rhyme scheme. The two most common sonnets are the Italian or Petrarchan sonnet, named after Francesco Petrarch an Italian poet, and the English or Shakespearean sonnet, which was developed first by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey.…

    Importance of Poetry

    We have to be clear with the fact that poetry is based on the inspiration of an author that takes as a fount the creation of anything, as simple as nature, a woman, water, death, the sea or anything else can be. Poetry wakes up our feelings of love, loneliness, sadness, and even fear. This is why poetry is important to the human being. For its creation, different faculties are needed, such as: intuition, intellect, feelings, experience, sensibility, sense of humor, culture, and many others. It could be similar to writing a song, they both make use of all these faculties.…
