To poeddicts (poet addicts) everywhere I hope I can do you justice. I'm starting this blog to share poems that are most dear to me and to explain why they mean so much. I'm planning on covering a variety of my favorites from Lewis Carroll to Sara Teasdale! I hope this blog helps you discover a love for poetry you never thought you had! I hope this blog leads to a greater discovery for me as well. Poetry is the neatest thing, it's written now and was written hundreds of years ago and much of the poetry encompass many similar emotions/situations. To think, that even though the way the words were written and spoken were much different than they are today, we experience many of the same emotions as the poets experience hundreds of years ago. For example when Edgar Allen Poe writes his poem "Alone" it reminds of us of how we feel when loved ones are taken away or when Sarah Teasdale writes Barter were reminded about why the world is such a wonderfully beautiful place to live in. The fact that one person can write how they feel and it last hundreds of years is an amazing thing in and of itself. And I, Caroline Grace, hopefully will be able to not only discuss these amazing poets and their works but someday accomplish the same astronomical feat.
