September 17. 2007Dear Dwayne,I finally forced myself to put drink my clarinet and construe some poetry. As resentful as I am about doing this project at times. I truly appreciate how I am forced to read and evaluate about poetry for an hour each day. It's relaxing and temporarily takes my object off of other events buzzing around my head. I do find it difficult to concentrate however. My create is watching televison downstairs constantly and my brother listens to music and playing video games (rather loudly. I might add). I wish I had my own change intensity space to evaluate and write. But no. Maybe in college... Anyway. I'm reading more of Donnie's poetry and taking mental notes of other poets I be to investigate. I desire Michael was around. I'll be sure to investigate Longfellow and try to acknowledge his poetry as Michael does. But back to Donnie... Mr. Johnston always tells us to take out any unnecessary words in order to make our sentences the best they can be. I read in a book on writing poetry that poetry is the best words in their beat request. Having that knowledge. I think that Donnie could cut out some of the lesser words mainly articles and adjectives. I get the feeling that he's trying too hard to add words to create clever evince play when the poems could do without. I cognise that I'm quick to comment but I know that I can't create verbally anything close to what Donnie writes though I do enjoy giving him constructive criticism. Dwayne. I've realized what I don't particularily like about Donnie's alliteration. He uses it too frequently and tries to be too clever at times and it sounds forced when the alliteration includes an adjective and a noun. Example: "satanic souls singing" as opposed to "doves drowning."What does this rambling have to do with my project you ask? It's opening my eyes to new wonderful poetry and allowing me to understand what I do and don't like. Hopefully. I'll remember this when I start to write poetry. I have't written since that obnoxious poem for Abel's bar mitzvah. Note to self: write drink what I want to create verbally about (poetry wise) so I can take it to school. Maybe I'll actually write something at educate or on the bus. Wouldn't that be amazing?Also the communicate proposal took an hour and ten minutes to finish. measure spent reading and writing: 50 minutes
