Shifting focus

Well, it is another year and another class and so I'm glad my blog is still up--not exactly up and running but at least up. This time the focus will be poetry and I'm both excited and nervous. Poetry scares me a little because the meaning is not always concrete, but is often up to interpretation and I always worry that I'm miles away from the author's actual purpose. I hate when I write something and the point is completely missed and so I try to interpret carefully. I'm looking forward to being back on the blog because it forces me to write, which is something that I love, but that often gets pushed to the back.
