2) Intro On my poetry wiki I have a couple different poems. Each poem is different but also similar, when I write poetry I usually don’t stray far from the first I write at the time being. In this wikispace we had to write different poems with different styles depending on what we were doing in class at the time. In class we would usually do a sample poem first. We would read a poem from a random poet and analyze their choices depending on the structure or the choices they made, for example if they used punctuation frequently or if they capitalized letters. After reading the first poem we would receive about 1 or 2 other poems similar to the first to get a feel on how that kind of poem is usually written. After doing that we would have the choice to work on a different poem or work on the one currently assigned. Sometimes in class we would watch short poems from different poets, during the time we watched them we would observe the way the poem was written and what the poem style was called, for example a found poem. We would take a line from any person that said something and put it into our poem along with other lines that we took interest in. “// We have fallen into the place where everything is music.” // That’s a line from my riff poem, for out riff poems we had to pick a line that we liked and create a poem from there. During the period that we were working on each different poem we were also revising and checking over our other ones.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">10) 500 Words on Poet William Carlos Williams was born on March 4th, 1963. He was a pediatrician and a general practitioner of medical. He usually wrote about modernism and imagist. He worked harder at being a writer but excelled at both. In his writing he includes a lot about apologies subtly and sometimes missed chances. The reason why he wrote with such a message is because he was denied his first marriage proposal. Not soon after the refusal, He later married the sister Florence Herman. He might be saying sorry to his wife because she wasn't his first choice and that he loved her sister rather than her. He could also be saying sorry to his parents because he didn't get to marry the girl they wanted him to marry. He also liked to repeat himself inside his poems occasionally. Sometimes he would use metaphors to distract the reader from the real message he was trying to send. He would also write indirectly, for example he would say sorry about plums that were so sweet but he might be saying sorry I had an affair because they were so beautiful or he would say sorry about something small. He might have been trying to subtly saying sorry about a mistake he made. A lot of his poems seem to relate to each other, particularly the ones that I've read, "A sort of Song" and “Apology” seem to been connected to each other. “A sort of Song” seems to be written before “Apology” because in the first line of “Apology” He asks why is he still trying, when in “A sort of song” he seems to be waiting for the right time to say sorry in a special way, “ through metaphor to reconcile. Another thing that he doesn’t do quite often is punctuation. He doesn’t put periods or commas very often after a line. Sometimes whole stanzas don’t even have any punctuation of any sort. I noticed that he likes to keep his lines short, and extend any lines that are too long to match the rest of the lines below. The words in the lines don’t have a direct message that is easily interpreted. On occasion the lines are easy to interpret but they’re not always direct but rather directed for something small but could also go a long way. Some of the poems he writes also seem to be noticeably short, while other could be a 1-2 page long poem. Some of the poems were 3 - 4 lines and also did not seem to carry a message along with it. He also wrote about modernism and he could’ve been writing what men like him could be experiencing at the time he was living. From my point of view I don’t think he was writing about other people’s experience but rather his own experiences and feelings. He might have seemed depressed about when he was refused his first marriage proposal and started writing poems about it.
