My experience with poetry writing this year has been so-so. I believe that when I was writing poetry for this class, I became so enveloped in using dark themes from a source that I admire that I feel like that ruined my creative potential. I fear that when I did my poetry assignment, I strayed away from originality. However, I am somewhat proud of what I wrote. In my recent collection of poems, I had actually reused and restructured a poem from an assignment I did last year for my Type and Media class. I found this really enjoyable as with that assignment, the options on what I could create was hindered due to the limiting nature of the assignment. Without those limiting factors in the way, I felt as though I could slightly expand on the poem and use different writing tactics in order to enhance the mood.
