Poetry and Understanding it

What poetry means to me, is that it is a way to speak out in many ways; such as rhyming, free styling, or haiku's while adding emotion and powerful words that makes the audience more attentive. It's either showing the message up close and front, or making the message discreet within the lines for the audience or reader to puzzle the pieces and find out what the poem means. I learned that many poems can be interpreted differently in ways more than one, through different points of views. The structure of poetry also showed me beauty within creating different poems on different topics. It can go from making a stair cased poem, to a waterfall like poem, a poem that doesn't have much punctuation, or making the poem have capitals in the beginning of each line or not. I feel that this unit showed me to be more creative than other units throughout this course.

A poem that caught my attention was from the movie "The Grey" starring Liam Neeson.

Once more into the Fray
-Jon Treloar

Once more into the Fray...
Into the last good fight I'll ever know.
Live and die on this day...
Live and die on this day...
