Poems, Poems, Poems
When I first read the poems I loved the poem by Phyllis Wheatley! It had a lot of amazing imagery and nifty word usage! It was so short but the point of anyone, even the minorities, can be saved and go on the angelic train was present! This was the first poem I read, so I kept thinking about it while I was reading the other ones. So I didn't really look to deep into the other ones. But when it came to talking about the other ones in class the poems "I Still Rise" and "Alone" stood out to me. They both had a cool meaning once I was actually able to analyze them. "I Still Rise" was nifty because she was so confident and just showed us that we can be strong through anything and rise above anything. Then "Alone" was good because it was definitely very true. I would never make it if I didn't have anyone in this world. I am such a people person, I need people to survive. This poem was so true and described me so well.

Hey I really liked her use of metaphors and the "Alone" poem as well! Her ideas became so much more intense and meaningful when she was able to combine them into a ellaborate picture. Also, I am very much a people person and think that she was able to show so much belief in herself and her friends that the poem was awesome! Have a great day and great post!
