Poetics 5

Brainard’s book was very helpful in writing my I remember poem. I was able to follow a certain structure and the flow of the poem. This poem was different from writing the other poems in the class because it was distinctly about you and your life. You also got to bring out the personal side and put your honest feelings into it. From this poem I learned that a lot of my bad experiences weren’t that bad and when I look back on them I’m able to laugh and smile about them. The most difficult part of this poem was having to only bring out the most important memories because if I were to say everything I remembered I would have a book as long as Brainards.
