Poetry daily essentials

I decided to read this book because it was the first poetry book I found and it looked the best out of the rest.

It book fits under the category: a book of poetry. I found this category kinda interesting, as some of the poems were strange, but were different and I enjoyed some of them.

My favorite three poems were logo rhythms, snow and first breath last breath. These were my favorite three poems as they were all every different and interesting. Logo rhythms I think for me was really cool, I thought it was creative and unique. First breath last breath, was touching and very true. And Snow, was really confusing but cool.

My favorite quote/poem is: "= Teeth tracks like ski tracks in the white icing and/or Oreo itself." This is my favorite quote/ part of a poem. As it was really different and was true. The observations for some of the logos were hard to imagine. All I can say is that I really enjoyed reading this poem, as I had never read anything like it before.

Something that I learnt from this book of poems is that poems are really deep, sometimes hard to understand, but they mean a lot. If you think out side the box.

A bit of everything. Some poems I loved, others not so much, but it really has something for everyone.
