Describe how you felt at first glances When you read a poem?
Answers
It does depend one which poem and sometimes even which poet. But for me I feel this sense of fulfillment. Like each word, sentence, paragraph has a meaning and is patientyly waiting for a reader to come along and latch on to it and to understand or even relate. We all feel different emotions while reading, some may even block emotions like for example in my school we study poetry. sadly it is ony poems from Irish poets…there is so many other poets from all over the world that are amazing!!! and should be read. I always notice each time we read a poem for the first time every single person in the class reacts differently. I thought it was because some are bored, some hate the subject some dislike the teacher but NO! I believe everyone reacts differently because in a poem, each word not always but most of the time, triggers a thought, a memory, an emotion it opens us and forces us to feel but this feeling only lasting a breathe and can be blown by blindness, bordem, dislike, disinterest or simply indenial of such power poetry can have over our feelings!
