Emo poetry stuff

Were these poems really meant to bring any images to my mind? If so then something is wrong because I didn’t have any intense pictures flying through my head like I was supposed to. I had absolutely no pictures brought to my mind, possibly a monkey hitting some cymbals together but other than that nothing. As for things that I liked about these poems I can’t think of anything that I like about these poems. I don’t like the point that they are trying to get across; the poem structure/style is also something I don’t like. They are boring, uninteresting, and depressing poems so they do not appeal to me.

I don’t read, listen to or watch stuff about people killing themselves off. I don’t like that kind of stuff. It’s not cool, interesting, or funny that people would kill themselves or attempt to end their lives. Although I say that, there is still one thing other that suicide these poems talk about. They mostly tell about bad childhoods. The subject of bad childhoods is something I can recollect. Last year we read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and A Child Called “It.” The person who wrote Child Called It truly had a horrible childhood and we find that out in his book. The poem connects to our unit theme because it is about remembering a bad childhood.

“My childhood forgotten.” This is the most “touching” part of these poems. It is the thing that sticks out most to me. The author is writing in a state of sorrow about the subject and whoever the poem is about had a very bad childhood and chooses to forget it. The theme of these poems is recollection of bad childhoods.
Poetry is considered an emotional style of writing because it is a style written from our emotions and feeling. It is a way to see into our very being and understand how a person thinks and feels about a subject.
