Welcome

Hello people from AP English and Composition and maybe other people. My name is Vanessa Reyes and I am in the 11th grade; one more year and I am a senior. My topic that I will be talking about and writing about is poems. On the previous blog I wrote about what is poetry. Throughout the year I am going to be posting up poems or part of poems and analyzing them, I am going post a new poem each month. For now, I am going to welcome you to my blog for this year and maybe continue with it after AP English and Composition. 

The reason why I chose to write about poems and analyzing them is because I really like poems. The way people write about themselves and many other people it is very fascinating. I really enjoy reading poems about people who have gone thought a lot of things and I feel that they are brave because they are able to express themselves in writing and not a lot of people are able to write things down and they act on those emotions without thinking about the consequences. Another reason why I chose to write about poems was because it is an easier way to write than doing it in big paragraphs. 

From poems I understand several things. one thing that I understand is that there is different kinds of style of poems and there are others that are going to discover. I also understand its differences with regular paragraph form. There are many things that I do not know about poems and I really want to learn about it. One thing would be who was the person who wrote the first poem and who discovered it. I also want to know who has made the longest poem or poem related recorded down. 

Introduction

Poems are a way to express yourself in many ways. The first way to be able to express yourself is when you are mad or feeling something, you can write it down and maybe be able to share it with other people and help them express themselves the way you did. there are different kinds of poetry. one kind of poetry is a found poetry. a found poetry is a poems that is found within a text. another type of poem is called free verse. free verse is poetry without rules.
Poetry is different from a prose and a narrative. A poem has a speaker and not a narrator like a narrative. It has a rhythm and when the words are said it makes a sound and makes the words sound important. In a poem, the words are arranged in lines. Poems can contain metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole and many other types of figure of speech.
