Poems
I found some new authors that I am warming up to. The first one is Billy Collins. I chose 2 of his poems. One is titled "Snow Day" and it captures what a kid is thinking when they get the terrific news that they dont have school. The second is called "Forgetfullness" and describes how forgetful we are and how this happens, and he goes into subjects from the planets to the name of a long lost friend. The next author I chose was Tony Hoagland. I chose his poem "Lucky" because it shows how the bond between a mother and child can never be broken and how her child is taking care of her when she is old and cant take care of herself anymore, its the whole circle of life. Lastly, my favorite poem, was called "Candles" by Carl Dennis because it involves fate and destiny and tells a story about how different this girl's life would have been if these certain events hadnt occurred in her life. Very deep and creative I thought. That is all :)

When you read the poem Forgetfullness in class I was able to relate, just the title itself says enough. I feel like we juggle so much things on our mind that we are more likely to forget most of them. It stresses me that I am not able to remember important things and dates like I used to before. I think the more responsibilities we have and the more stressed we are make us become more forgetful. I need to be as organized as possible to try not to forget, I try my best to write things down and that helps alot.
