Reflection:On the Words in Poetry

This poem is intriguing and easy for me to relate to. I feel a similar way about poetry but I don't look at it the same way as the author does and I probably don’t have as much passion as he did either.. From the poem you can tell how passionate the author is about poetry and words. It is interesting to discover the author pretty much grew up hearing poetry and how that shaped him into what he is today. It is also interesting that even though he didn't understand what was being said to him as a young child he still managed to find appreciation. The author looks at poetry different then most because of the way he breaks it down and sees words for more than just words. The poem was pretty good and total and made me interested in his other works.
