In this project, we were told to write a collection of poems that represent our worldview. We learned all about different poetry terms, and types, and answered the question, ‘How Might I Write Poems I Enjoy And Show Who I Am’. I found That I could enjoy writing all of these poems so much more if I wrote them about something that was ensuing or important to me. We ended up writing 10 poems, 7 different kinds of poems, and three haikus, all about things like Cows, Pigeons, Barbies, and Miso Soup.
My favourite poem to write was also the hardest one for me to write, the About Me Poem. We had a less specific criteria, and we had more freedom to write it however we wanted, and it was also supposed to be much longer than any of the other poems ever had to be.
We were also told to add in some sort of media along with our poems, and I really enjoyed drawing things in the app Sketches Pro as my choice of media. I am most proud of either the line drawing of myself I made for the About Me Poem, or the pigeon drawings for my Animal Kingdom Poem. Overall, I really enjoyed this project, even if poems have never been my favourite.
