I feel that poetry has often been a vehicle for political statements, and could be an important way for society to examine and express social injustices. It shows that poetry can not only be art one can appreciate and relate with, but it can also inform, make people curious about a time in history that you might not have known before reading the poem.…

The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write.

Dybka’s…

For instance, the poem “ Fire - Caught ” by Langston Hughes could have multiple meanings, like someone giving into temptation, the actual connection of a moth and a fire, or it could be a telling story about someone falling for something too good to be true.…
