Poetry

For my writing intensive poetry class, our first assignment was to write 3 different poems using the same 20 words. After doing some brainstorming I was able to come up with something that I liked:

Poem 1:

Love,
to see your eyes smiling.
Look,
at me.
Kiss
my thoughts.
Dream..
our future.
Together.
Now..forever.
Never stopping.

Poem 2:

Now together,
forever.
Kiss my eyes...
smiling, love.
To see
your thoughts.
Dream. Me!
Never.
Look,
at stopping our
future.

Poem 3:

Smiling.
Dream.
Forever..eyes.
Stopping together.
Now,
my kiss.
See..
your thoughts.
Look never
to love.
At..
future.
Our.
Me.


I got some excellent feedback from Professor Fisher on my work. I used to write poetry all the time when I was younger, and this class is getting me back into it. Our next assignment is a sonnet and that should be interesting.

I'm also looking forward to my senior project with Dr. Norvilitis. Our meeting with the Buffalo school reps and Journey's End went well yesterday. My project is going to end up providing alot of useful information that will enable better education for refugee youth.
