I really enjoyed the workshop process! Before my poem was work shopped, I was really nervous. The idea of the class reading and critiquing my poem in front of everyone was a terrifying thought, especially because I decided to workshop a poem that I knew needed work. I like that we first go around the circle and say something positive about the poem; it made me feel like there were parts of my poem that were good, even though there were parts of it that could be more clear too. I really enjoyed being able to read everyone's poems, and they were all really good! Our class was a fun class to workshop with; everyone gave great advice and good constructive criticism. I feel like because of the workshop, I have the tools to make my poem better. Also, reading everyone's work was very inspiring! There are so many wonderful poets in our class.
Thank you everyone for a great workshop!
Ayyy great title! I'm glad someone was nervous about the workshop like me, but your poem really stuck with me for its uniqueness and theme. I had attempted a similar form to yours and felt unsure about it but seeing that we had similar concerns about it is a good sign! I'm sure the revised version of your poem is going to sound really great.
