5.22


I’ve been studying my English all evening, and well, I just love it. I could read literature and poems all the time. Poems, really. Short stories not so much., I have many loves (the world just has so much to offer) but one of mine is poetry. American, British, French, German, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese (ok never actually read one of those but I’m sure I’d like it…) doesn’t matter that style or language, if it’s a poem, GIMME.  I love it so much that, oddly enough… like this is really weird actually, I sometimes think in poetry. Like on the starting line before a track workout or just getting to my car or taking notes in class I think my thoughts IN A POEM. Why? Dunno, Sometimes I write them down. I try to…. Other times, I just put it off till later. Or other times I write them and then throw them away because they’re not that good (cheesy, brooding, ew). But the ones that HAVE been written and published for our benefit are just wonderful. 
e. e. Cummings’ Anyone lived in a pretty how town [insert]
I love e. e. He was such a free spirit and truly in a league of his own. His poetry has so much surface and so much depth. I cannot do justice with that commentary, so I will say no more except that, at the risk of sounding repetitive, I love it.
Annnnnnd now back to Wadsworth and Hughes, the poets on my exam. Goodnight.
