Today was the conclusion of poetry. After a brief introduction to drama, which we will be starting next week, we had a workshop where the people who didn't read last week read their poems.
The poem that stood out for me was "What Will Become of (?)," because my grandmother on my mother's side (my Nana), had leukemia, and for five and a half months, I watched her suffer as she went through aggressive chemo to combat the disease. Unfortunately, my Nana passed away nearly 10 years ago, but I remember the pain she went through. That's why this particular poem stood out for me. I know that I should've said this in class, but I didn't think about it until now.
Anyway, I look forward to drama. Should be fun!
