Sestina vs The Raven
After reading all the poems that we have read over the last couple of weeks I have discovered something about what I like and what I don’t like about poetry. I have discovered that modern day poems are easier to read and get through whereas the poems that are more traditional with language that is harder for me to understand doesn’t keep my attention as well and it seems to take me longer to get through poems and understand what I had just read. I would have to say of all the stories that I read for this blog entry I would have to say I liked the story “Sestina” the best. I think that is because it was written more modern and not traditional then the other ones. On the other end even though I read “The Raven” when I was in a high school English class I would have to say I still don’t fully get the back ground of what the story is about. What I think I did finally get out of that story was that it is about some who is in jail and is lonely and looking out in to the world with hopes of someone coming to visit them.

I really agree with you about new versus old poems. The older poems are harder to understand than the newer ones with the language that we use everyday. I have found that Robert Frost's poems are easier to understand and they were written in the olden days. I think it just depends on the poet.
I also agree with you and have discovered the exact same thing about my poetry preferences. I find myself blogging more about modern poems, because like you, older poems with older language do not hold my attention. Props for actually getting some meaning or story line out of The Raven, I still have yet to do that.
