Week 6 Poetry thoughts Part I:

I must confess that in High school, or grade school for that matter, I didn't enjoy poetry very much, in fact, not at all...mostly because it meant reading!  However, having grown a bit older and hopefully wiser(not sure about more mature yet), I find poetry having a wonderful appeal to my mind and senses.  Reading through our first selections I found myself relating and thinking.  I could relate to, "The Fish" from my own experiences, and watching my children's experiences as well.  I found "White Lies" very interesting as it brought me back to my very early childhood days and my siblings.  These readings brought me back to some wonderful and not so wonderful days, but in all, very fun to read and intellectually challenging.
