Today in class, you presented your "powerpoint poem." So good stuff indeed. I hope that the assignment allowed you to connect to the imagery in poetry. Much like music, poems can be used to compliment feeling. The next time that you are feeling blue, try reading a poem. As human beings we are deeply connected. Poetry allows us to see that we are not alone in our feelings. Emily Dickerson never imagined that her poems might help another person when she scribbled them downs in a small room, afraid of the world. Poetry is not just "school stuff"- it is a deep connection to human emotion, which we all share.
