Getting to Know Each Other

I have thoroughly enjoyed our poetry class for several reasons. One of these reasons is that, although our class in large in regards to workshopping poems, it is small in regards to getting to know each other. At this point, I'm not positive that I remember everyone's first name--and I certainly don't remember last names. However, I know people based on their poetry. I don't think I've ever had a class where we concentrated and focused on workshops. There's something pretty cool about knowing that if one of our classmates forgot to write their name on their poem, I might be able to correctly identify it just based on the writing style and content. I love that we've become so familiar with each other's work that such a thing is possible. I also love the way reading poems from so many different people from so many different backgrounds has broadened my knowledge of poetry and even helped me with my own work. This is probably the only class where I will miss classmates this semester, too. This class has been fairly easy, but I feel like I've learned so much! I'm so glad I took this class. It was great to hear everyone's ideas and poetry. = )

Hope to have classes with you guys again!
