Proud

I am most proud of this poem. It is a 'found' poem; meaning that it's composed of words and phrases taken from a story or any type of literature. I am very proud of this because I was really apprehensive about how it was going to turn out. In the end I ended up loving the message that I portrayed and how the poem flowed. If I was to go back and rework it I think that I would have made it longer. I would also research the authors story thoroughly so that I could chose words and phrases that optimize the message that I am trying to portray. Overall I gained a respect both for the author for whom I borrowed the words and phrases from and this type of poetry.
