Poetry Blog

My thoughts about this section are:
I'm not a huge fan of poetry. When it comes down to it, I simply do not understand the whole form and outline of poetry and how it works. The story "The Raven" does not seem like a poem at all, but more like a horror story. I think that for its' time, this poem was very well written, although it seems like more nowadays, its in the form of songs, lyrics, etc. On the topic of rap music, it seems like most songs- not only rap songs- have "poetry" based lyrics. There seems to be a lot of different types of "poetry" and all in different forms. I think it depends more on how the individual person sees poetry than how a book sets the standard for poetry.
