You must take care to write in sentences,
Check your spellings and your paragraphs.
Is this finished? It is rather short.
Perhaps next time you will have more to say.
I figured since this blog is on literature and composition it would only be fitting to have the last poem of the school year be on writing.
We're able to see that though the child's spelling and structure leaves room for growth, it drowns the audience in imagery and significance.
And then the italicized words that critic the "writing" focus to heavily on the words (and their placement) rather than the meaning of what they say.
Writing is about how words come together to create something meaningful. Structure, syntax, diction, all that jargon are a means to an end of
Enlightenment, discovery, Love Stories, and all those things that writing gives us.
Over the time that i've had this blog I hope those means of presenting thought have improved but more importantly I hope the blog has actually been
a canon for higher level thought. I've done my best and hope any brave soul who reads it enjoys what I've written.
Thank you
I've enjoyed your writing. I hope, however, that you didn't miss the point of this poem?
