Is not the end Poetry!

Poetry in America is so easy to understand, all it takes it’s time, patience and interest. I could go on searching about the Poetry in our country but it is so much that it will take me years to achieve this goal. So far I showed how important it’s Poetry, why poems are hard to read, I gave a small amount of history, and I wrote about a poem that interested me. Also I describe how important is to keep our poetry in the same structure to maintain it safe and straight, this way people that try to change our rules will fail in the act. Oscar Fay Adams wrote a poem called, “The Distressed Poet” this poem was more than a million words, this poem gives credit to the Poet and all of the persons that have the talent of writing poems. This poem describes the issues of the poets, what they go through when they create a poem, and how hard is to make a poem rhyme when the words are placed in the wrong path. Oscar also brings out how people enjoy poets, how delightful is to be a poet and to be so clever. I believe that poets go through rough times when they have so many inspirational phrases but the rhyme doesn’t come out right. This must drive them crazy and make re-start all over again. For last I am going to talk about one last poem by George Henry Calvert called Aspiration. The word aspiration has a lot of meaning for me, knowing there was a poem called Aspiration describing it so smooth made me fall in love with this poem. It talks about not looking back, the past will help the future be better, no matter how many mistakes we have done it doesn’t matter we have to let go and move on because “the Future would be As sunlight warm and cheering”.
---Were we what we might be,
We 'd not look back with sadness;
But the Past as brightly
Would shine as present gladness.
Were we what we could be,
We 'd not look forward fearing;
But the Future would be
As sunlight warm and cheering.---
