My relationship with poetry. – English Unit 2

My relationship with poetry is rather new. I have never had a unit solely focused on poetry, though it has always been a topic that sparked my interest. Before this unit poems were something that I could understand or interpret but to an extent, however, during the past few classes that we have had on poetry with the help of the new terms, figures of speech, linguistic devices and more as well as the help of the fresh perspectives offered by my teachers and classmates, I believe that I have the opportunity to improve my ability to unpack and delve deeper to find meaning in the poems we analyse and discuss during class. This unit being rather new to me I struggle with a few things during class, I personally find it rather difficult learning and applying the new and different terms and figures of speech etcetera to poems we talk about in class. Therefore, during this unit, I intend to do my best at fully understanding terms we learn about and at least try to identify them accurately in the poems we analyse. And hopefully, through this, I will be able to gain a better understanding of the meaning of the poems and perhaps even the meaning intended by the poet.
