What did you learn from these poetry sessions? Is there anything that could have been done differently either by yourself, your classmates, the teacher? Anything else you want to say?Say it!

Introduction to Poetry

Billy Collins - Introduction To Poetry

I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive.
I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.
I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author's name on the shore.
But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.

“THE VALUE OF POETRY LIES IN YOUR OWN RESPONSE – YOUR PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE POEM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT”
