From the title you may already be thinking that I don't really care for poetry all that much. Well if that's what you're thinking you're the you are right on the money. Poetry can be beautiful yes but I feel that there are much more direct ways of saying what poets try and portray. My dislike may just be for poetry from the dark ages and Shakespeare because I find the language so hard to wrap my head around. The complexity of the words they use to describe feelings, thoughts, scenery could be written in such a way that everyone can understand and interpret. I don't HATE poetry or anything but I can say many negative things about it just because it is most likely my least favourite form of literature. I would mush rather read a good book as opposed to poems. I had to read the Poisonwood Bible in English this year and one of the daughter's in the book always uses poetry in her writing. I found it extremely annoying and the annoyance mostly came from not completely understanding what or why she was saying and why she had chosen to speak in such tongues. After a while though I got used to reading her portions of the book and in all honesty I skipped over the poetry portions. I feel that there are so many easier ways to say what poets portray in their works, but that's just my opinion. The only rhyming I have an interest in reading is Dr. Seuss from my childhood days.

As for the guest poets work I have many questions about what she was thinking about when she was writing the poems I read and what inspired her to do so. I also would like to know what she meant by using the word "Cha'am" because I have never in my whole life heard anyone ever use that word or form of slang.
