It has been already three weeks into the term. We have learned about some great poets like Tennyson, Browning, Whitman and Frost and their awesome poems. We have watched some funny and great videos of Def Poetry by HBO. Also, we had the best cookies ever on earth made by Mrs. Lewis, our Poetry Class teacher. (They are beyond great, and I almost feel sorry for those of you who might be reading our blog posts but never get to meet her and her fabulous cookies, because you will see more of these cookie comments throughout the term. Hopefully!? <3) And we just had our first test of the term, and it got me thinking about the literary styles of the poets. Without a second of hesitation, I thought that my favorite was the ‘Sound of Sense’ used by Frost for sure.
What happens to me oftentimes is that I don’t understand what is going on in the poem because of the author’s complicated way of using vocabularies and grammar. To be honest, I had NO idea what was going on in Tennyson’s “The Bugle Song”. But when I first read Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, for the first time in many days, I felt like I actually understood what was going on! I was very excited when I came into class the next day, and I learned that it was because of the Sound of Sense that helped me understand the poem. Sound of Sense is the literary style used by Frost that uses everyday language, speech and rhythms to make a poem. I thought his poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” sounded very natural and smooth, and I could visualize the scenes better. I hope to find some more poems like this with our awesome class:))!
