Poetry Out Loud

1. Broken Promises by. David kirby
2.Invitation to Love by. Paul Lawrence Dunbar
3. Fern Hill by. Dylan Thomas
4.Candles by. Carl Dennis & The Road Not Taken by. Robert Frost

Part Two:
My most favored of the five poems would have to be the 'Invitation to love' By: Paul Lawrence Dunbar and The Road Not Taken by. Robert Frost because of the emotion and setting of the poems and the poems phrased the setting easily enough to understand what the poem is about but what I have noticed about the poems that I take interest too is that they are compared to aspects bigger than what they appear.

The poem that I enjoyed the least was 'Fern Hill' by. Dylan Thomas because it did not have the content of the requirements that I stated about the poems that I took interest in above and I also know that the 'Fern Hill' poem was very long and drug out.

If I were to choose between the the poems at hand I would choose 'The road not taken' because it is the most thoughtful in my opinion and it is just enough compared to the bigger lesson of the story and it has vocabulary that roll off the tongue like water off of a ducks back.

My personal connection to poems is deeper than I could ever explain in words. Now, obviously there are probably words out there that I could explain this feeling I get when I process the emotion in my brain but I have realized that I do not know of any such words yet and will be anxious to learn them in the future.

Part Three:

The easiest two criteria would have to be the memorization and the accuracy but the other two performance and expression would be the most difficult but I will just have to practice them.

Part Four:

I believe this is a successful performance because the projection and emotion is easily seen to the audience from the person speaking and you could tell that the speaker knew what they were talking about because there is no way that a performance could be fa ken in emotion from understanding.

Part Five:

I think that the poetry out loud competition will be a great yet nerve raking experience for me because it combines two of my favorite things literature and competitive instinct. I am pretty excited to see what will happen and whether I will win or not and hopefully I will do well in the competition.
