Me? A Poet? ......Not!

Last week, we studied poetry. Did you have fun? Did you learn something new? I did. You see, I never formally learned about poetry. Oh, I've read it and enjoy it, but it sometimes is difficult for me to understand it.
However, I try to have a good attitude about learning new things. And guess what? I enjoyed the unit we learned together in class. I learned that poetry is just another way to express your thoughts in a more creative way.

Writing class: what did you learn?
