My favorite poem that I read was Ballad of Birmingham. I feel it had alot of passion and spoke volumes of the brutality and tragedies that was going on during those times. The certain incident that this was written on was terrible but still need to be remembered so people don't forgot the struggles people went through back then and still go through today.

Everything comes from the ground and thats where it shall return. This poem made me think of the documentaries where cities were abandoned and grass and tress just retook over everything. Growing through and around everything. To me this was a another passionate writing with a lot of emotion in it and I liked it.

Live in the moment, their will always be more to come. Dont get caught up in every up and down that comes your way. Live life in the current moment not dwelling in the rough spots, that is what it is all about.

I think says of most people being set on what they are winning or gaining in life. But the poet is saying that we are losing everyday. Losing something important or something we dont even notice but at the end of the day it isnt going to be the end of the world.

Short and sweet poem about ditching school and listening to music, living in the moment. Life goes by fast living that way which the last phrase "Die soon" I think captures that meaning.

I loved the emotion in this poem regarding the decision that the person had to make whether to just push the deer into the river. To me it was a decision of saving a life against the thought of taking a life.

A passionate poem I liked that tells of the masks we all wear everyday. The ones that hide our emotions and feelings to the people around us. Hiding our true emotions from the world because we must be strong right.

In the 60's their was alot going on with racial tension. This poem trys to tell a little bit about it. This poem probably is the best example of Lowells words regarding emotion and poetry. This one comes deep from the heart and is just a small example of what black people were dealing with back then

A nice little poem about where he is at in life and his likes. About being black in Harlem and similarities to his white teacher. About being different or alike is more that just color.

This poem about a funeral is very deep and kind of depressing. When we lose someone we love this is a good example of how we reel inside. You can tell this poem is really coming from a place of loss and sadness. Lowell said poetry comes from the height of every type of emotion. This one would be coming from sadness

Is a poem that dives into an emotion about his interactions with his father as a boy. Our memories as children are usually selective so from that I know this is a very found memory for the poet. You can take alot away from this poem, for instance, the type of relationship they had while be was a young boy.

“Poetry is the height and quintessence of emotion, of every sort of emotion. But it is always someone feeling something at white heat, and it is as vital as the description of a battle would be, told by a soldier who had been in it.”

Poetry is the passion in someones heart telling a story from their experiences coming from deep emotions. Whether it was an experience that the poets went through or are speaking on, the emotion and detail of what is being said is what makes it come to life.
