I've been avoiding poetry because at school the meaning of poetry was drilled into us. I was scared that I wouldn't understand what they poem was trying to convey. Now I've looked up Poetry 180 and added The Sky Is Everywhere to my Goodreads to-read shelf. I want to reintroduce myself to poetry!

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I really enjoyed the poems in your post :)GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416137629786778346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-4368865927911890732010-09-29T09:07:57.822-04:002010-09-29T09:07:57.822-04:00I so wish I'd known about Poetry 180 while I w...I so wish I'd known about Poetry 180 while I was teaching. I made my own Poem of the Day book to share with my kids.

I've always felt that poetry was meant to move each of us the way it does--meaning differently, like we're all different. I can remember a teacher telling me my interpretation of a certain poem was wrong. I'm sorry, but it didn't hit me the way it hit her. <br /><br />Poetry makes me look at life in an altered way.

I admit, I had stayed far, far away from anything remotely poetry like until I read The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. The main character, Lennie, leaves poems everywhere and anywhere - the beauty of the words amazes me over and over.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018462020647415671noreply@blogger.com
