News Paper Black Out Reflection
I really did enjoy this project, by this time it was a while ago we finished our newspaper blackouts but I can tell you I still feel connected to mine. When writing my poems at first I couldn’t really see much in them but of course all revels itself in time. I wanted my poems to be more than the easy reads, picking out words the grammatically fit together but have no meaning behind them. So I looked and picked out what was highlighted and easy for me to read. Now I do agree some of my poems wouldn’t make sense to just anyone looking and reading them but I had a connection and meaning behind every word I picked out. This of course was one of the difficulties. Making something new out of something old is of course never an easy feat, but I do think it’s also an advantage on a level because it causes for creativity, and after all this is a creative writing class. I found given time almost any student could successfully finish this project, obviously some on other levels then others but it was a fun way for everyone to make their mind work and see the possibilities in writing. As for myself I learnt in this project I like to be out of the norm. I prefer confusing put together of words that for me have a sense of urgency behind them. My thought behind poetry is that it should make you think, and at first glance you should understand words but I feel a true poet has a sense of mystery that takes the second glance to look deeper into the meaning of what is written.
After all isn’t that what poetry is, writing with deeper meaning
