My+Poem+-+I+Dreamed+of+Diving

Br. Tom assigned this assignment to write a poem using the style Emily Dickinson uses in her writing. Dickinson writes based on her own experiences; so when thinking about what should be written in mine and Mia's poem, we thought of something we had both experienced -- swimming. Once we had agreed on an experience, we then took time to relate it back to reality; how we feel LIFE is. When learning how to swim; we sometimes struggle and are not equipped with the proper techniques to "swim like the professionals." In life, we make and set certain goals that are able to be achieved and we make a "line" of where we feel those goals can be met. It is our job to stay above that line; to fight in order to get where we would like to be. Going toward your dreams is tough work; and it takes alot of time and patience. It may not always workout in your favor; but if and when it does, it feels good! 1204084038
 * __My Poem: I Dreamed of Diving..__**

i think that your topic was just like a dickinson poem because all of her poems are about something that everybody has expierienced once in there life. i think that swimming is a good poem topic because it isn't negative like most of dickinson poems, and swimming is a fun thing no like death or hearts being broken. My poem topic was about a spider being crushed by a shoe. i figured it would be good beecause everyone has expierience it and it involves death just like dickinson. The poem itself wasn't very good, at least i don't think, but the concept was ok.
