Troubing Poet...  

Posted by Sara


Just like a lot of other students have mentioned, this is also my first poetry class I have ever taken. I enjoy reading poetry more than writing it, because I sometimes have trouble reaching within my muse. I realized though, that the more I practice and the more time I take to actually write poetry, the better I may become at it. I am extremely outgoing and imaginative, so when I do finally reach my muse and begin to write poetry, it is sometimes hard for me to stop; even though, it takes me awhile to begin writing. The most troubling muse writing I have come across was writing to either music I do not normally listen to, or some paintings.  I like to relate poetry to music because it then becomes easier to understand and enjoy. I hope by the end of this semester, this class will help me become a better poet and writer overall.

Of course just like practicing any other thing, poetry will get "better" as you write more. I use better in quotation marks because there really is no such thing as bad poetry. As for your trouble with music, it's good that you use music because it can make the poem easier to relate to. Use music you love because you muse, in my opinion, talks better to you then. Jumping back to your muse struggles, even great writers have trouble starting a piece. I have friends who free-style rap and sometimes they repeat the same line over and over again until they reach that new line. I hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the advice! It will definitely help me out as I continue writing!
