I was always more on an english and history mind than a math and science. I have always done quite well in my english classes and always had slight difficulty when learning mathematical type things, yet I find poetry one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do. Poetry being an art form yet also having a side that needs structure and clarity, in a lot of cases, makes it very hard for me to accomplish up to my own standards. Sometimes  I feel so lost in what makes a good poem that its impossible to know where to begin (I suppose thats when muse writes come into play) or how to recognize what is right. People's opinions are so different and to please multiple perspectives using only one mind, seems to be a challenge I had never recognized coming into this class. I feel like reading Kenneth Koch's books helped and hopefully reading everyone else's  poems during work shop will help me figure out what it means to write well. I hope I am able to come further in writing instead of staying stuck on this plateau of self doubt of language.
