Poetry Lessons

                                          Poetry Classes

    We just finished our poetry lessons. I learned a lot of things from the lessons,
and we had a lot of fun too. This is the first time I learned about the poetry. In China and Singapore, we thought poetry is not formal enough, so the teachers do not teach you about this special type of writing. However, I think the informal style is really fun to write poetry. It is because we don’t need to worry about the format, or other things which we should be careful about when we write an essay. I learned there are a lot of other styles of poetry, for example “Haiku”, “Cinquain”, and “Diamantes”. They also have their own format to write. I think poetry also can be very literal. Some poetry is really hard to understand because they are just the writer’s thinking. It means poetry is really free, it can be just your ideas and thinking. I glad I learned a lot of useful things from the lessons. I like poetry. This is my favorite poem which is I wrote.
