Weekly Blog

Learning about the different ways in which a poem in the shape of a picture can have an effect on a reader was nice. I like reading the packet on concrete poetry and being exposed to many different styles poets used to help them convey the idea of their poem. Seeing the piece about offense and defense of football was the first piece I have encountered about sports and I was quite surprised to see it.Sports seems to be a topic not discussed in the poetry or at least in none of the resources I have been exposed to recently.
I also liked how in class on Tuesday we had the exercise of cutting out sentences or phrases and putting them together in a way to tell a story or convey a message. Many of the topics that seemed to be discussed from other people were about politics or government, but that might just have been because of the types of magazines we were using. regardless of this, I really enjoyed exploring this new techniques in class and I will take the advice given to us and write down phrases that stick into my head and apply them to my writing.
