Patterns in Poetry
The deeper dive project for this quarter was exploring types of pattern in the real world. We were given a multitude of options such as patterns in poetry, nature, architecture and so many more. Personally I chose to explore patterns in poetry because I love to write. I did this project with my partner Josh Theeke. What we did was create another Weebly page (link below). What me and my partner Josh did, was take six different types of poetry (tanka, fibonacci, nonet, quatrain, cinquain and etheree) and study them. We learned each poetry's pattern and wrote dark and light poetry to represent them. We wrote both light and dark poetry to prove the point that different set ups of poetry sound better dark or light. For example, you would more commonly hear a haiku poem to be light rather than dark. The syllable count in that poem created it like that. A elegy poem is more known to be a dark poem because it is written about a traumatic experience like death. Studying these types of poems have helped show that syllable counts, rhyme and repetition can make a poem sound better dark rather than light and the other way around. This project for me was really inspirational because it aloud me to connect multiple subjects together. I could express my creative writing skills while doing a math project. To me this is interesting because this is how life will be. Connecting different things like math and english and having a purpose to why they need each other.
