(Feel free to be honest.) en-us 2021-01-18 19:24:18 UTC 2021-01-20 14:14:33 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105739053 Poems are economical, where they keep poems concise and to the point.  They also had strong, genuine emotions put into the lyrics. I agree with Goerge on his points about poetry because the emotions  and figurative language conveyed in poetry is its own art form and it could translate to  other mediums. There probably isn't a limit to the poems people could make, which is one of the beauties of poetry. I personally hate writing poems but I like to read them. I have trouble coming up with things to write poems about, and it's just not enjoyable to me.]]> 2021-01-20 13:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105739053 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105742424 The poetry George shared had a lot of emotion in it, as well as figurative language so you can better visualize what the poet felt.
I agree with how it connects to humans because emotions are a very powerful tool to use to connect to someone and the meter can add another element to it, setting the rhythm and possibly adding on to the tone. 
I feel like I like poetry within song form, but I am less found of the typical literary format of plain text and I would say literary poetry more often uses more abstract figurative language, as a song more often uses more concrete things. I am not denying that literary poetry can also have concrete figurative language, I am just making a distinction in the frequency in which it appears. ]]> 2021-01-20 13:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105742424 lydialavine22 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105747327 There was a lot of emotion in the poems. They had numerous examples of figurative language and they describe every little detail. They will make someone feel what you want them to feel if you write the poem right. I agree with his reasons for why poetry is important to people and how to connect them through emotion. They make humans feel more emotions. Poetry just makes you feel things that can't be expressed in a simple way. I LOVE POETRY! I write poetry actually. I write poetry a lot and usually they are short and don't follow many rules, but they give the meaning I want them to give. I like reading some poetry. I mean, I LOVE MUSIC! Music is my life. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105747327 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105748539 The poems include use of figurative language which are used to convey a lot of emotion with each poem. The poems are meant to have an impact on you. I agree with what George says about how poetry is important to humans. It can be used to make you feel certain feelings which can be used to help inspire people or even inform people. I personally only enjoy reading poetry since I don't consider myself a good writer. One form of poetry I love is music because music is something very powerful that can give emotion. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105748539 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105759051 The poems made every word have meaning, and not one is wasted when making one. Also the poems used a lot of figurative languages. I agree with George's reason for how poetry is connected to humans since it creates an emotional connection with people. It could also benefit them when reading or writing some.
I say i'm open to poetry but i'm not crazy about writing it. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105759051 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105759947 There was a lot of things in the poem that we can connect to. There was a lot of emotion in the poem as well. I do agree that poetry is important to humans and how we connect. Poetry is one of those things that where people listen and feel like they are understood. Kind of like with music as well. I do like poetry. I like that it is real, and a lot of the time I can relate to it. I like seeing where the writing is coming from. Its nice that they are sharing something so vulnerable with me and the rest of the audience. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105759947 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105760166 One of the qualities of poetry George shared was how much emotion that was put into it. The emotion and utilization of words in the poem makes it easier to relate to. The figurative language that was used throughout the poem made it visual and was another great quality. I do agree with him because poetry can be used as a form of expressing yourself which makes it important to humans. I do enjoy listening to poetry because it make me feel understood.]]> 2021-01-20 14:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105760166 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105760332 One of the qualities of poetry George describes is economical. In other words, each word is in the poem for a reason. Another quality of poetry George describes is figurative language. Figurative language is use throughout the poem just enough where there isn't too much or too little. I agree that poetry is an important to humans because it describes the world in words that we cannot ourselves. Poetry gives the audience the picture emotion the poet was feeling while writing the poem. Personally, I do not like poetry at all. I don't like writing or reading it because I just want to either understand what the poet is saying but can't since there meaning is hidden between the words. I don't like to write poetry because I just want to get out what I'm trying to say with out playing with my words. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105760332 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105764415 The qualities that George has shared were very emotional and inspiring. One of the qualities was figurative language which is mainly used to give the reader a good idea of what the author felt when writing. Another quality was economical which means each word that was used in the poem was used for a reason and there is a meaning behind every word that was used. I agree with George on his reasons why poetry is important to humans because it gives their life a deeper meaning and interest. It gives people more motivation to do something with their lives and not just lay around. I like reading poetry because I like finding out what the authors main purpose in writing the poem was and finding the deeper meaning and seeing if I can relate to it.]]> 2021-01-20 14:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105764415 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105768301 The first poem was heavy with its metaphorical usage of words. It did a great job at conveying the thoughts of the mourner in the poem. Both of the poems never became redundant or repetitive. Poetry is important for humans to share their experiences and emotions in a creative way. I don't really like to engage with poetry but I certainly appreciate it.]]> 2021-01-20 14:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105768301 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105768348 One of the qualities that George explained that are present in poetry is that it should be able to convey a certain emotion to someone. Poems should also be straight forward and eliminate any unnecessary words or phrases that might disrupt the meter. 
     I agree with George because from the poems that I have read, I have noticed that some of the factors that he listed were apparent.
  I like generally like reading poetry but I would want to read more than I do now. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105768348 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105769335 The qualities of poetry that George describes is emotion and figurative language. Emotion shows how it connects to the reader and figurative language helps visualize what is actually going on in the poem. Yes, I agree with George. The words in poetry can deeply connect to ones situation but it all depends on how they are put together. I like to read some poetry not all. Some poetry can be hard to understand and relate to. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105769335 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105769728 Poetry is emotionally evocative and economical; each word serves a purpose. I agree that poetry is important because it encapsulates emotions and conveys ideas unlike any other medium. Even if you don't quite understand it, you can enjoy it. I don't read or write poetry a lot, but I like it because I'm a logophile and a nerd.]]> 2021-01-20 14:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105769728 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105770966 The qualities that George has shown us were emotion and economical. The emotion shows how it can truly connect with the reader. The economical quality of poetry means that every word that was put in the poem was put there for a reason. I agree with Georges reasons for poetry being important to humans because it allows them to share their emotions and beliefs. I don't really like poetry because to me it is just a few lines of text, nothing really special to it. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105770966 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105771671 The poems had meaning and a lot of emotions in it. They also included a lot of figurative language. I do agree with George because it's easy to connect with people through emotions. The only kind of poetry I like is music ]]> 2021-01-20 14:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105771671 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105772551 One of the qualities George had pertained to in the video was how poems bring in this sense of emotion. They tend to connect with the reader on a different level than books and other literature. It's easy to read something and admit that it made you sad or happy but analyzing further its a true story just from the inside. Another quality he had gave was that there are many play on words and figurative language. It adds more meaning but also exaggeration. The more vivid and intricate a poem is, the more emotions and feelings will be present. I agree with Georges reasoning that it is important to humans poetry isn't another time of literature. It shares a special part because poetry can literally be anything. Personally, I am not a fan of poetry only because sometimes it gets messy. I'm more of a fan to read it simply and understand it the first time. I feel like poetry shouldn't be complicated in a sense that its our emotions. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105772551 https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105784878 The qualities that he talked and shown us were emotion and economical, they gave emotion and something for the audience to relate to.I personally do not like it, mostly because I've never really took my time to read it out of school. ]]> 2021-01-20 14:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emcmurray4/rpqfr7it1i444vxp/wish/1105784878
