Poetry is a way many express themselves which is great and all, but it’s not for me personally. I’ve always had a difficult time understanding poets and their similes, metaphors, etc. There can be many interpretations of a poem that can be interesting but it gets overwhelming trying to understand what’s going on. For example, Shakespeare’s writing was confusing, it’s understandable I don’t think he made his writing easy to understand but I want things to get straight to the point. Writing them was not as bad of an experience as reading them, but I had to think about giving the poem meaning. I feel like there are other ways for me to express myself that isn’t poetry.
