Bright Young Things

I will put up the graphic but I wanted to link to this. I have a few more to post for this challenge.

Today I start with another Plath poem. To say that she has had an influence on me is an understatement. After I read Metaphors and looked at the composition behind it it inspired me to try counting syllables. It lead directly to my poem Birthday Cake/Sweet Sixteen which I consider to be one of my best. I really enjoy this poem and I hope you guys will too.

{Take the 100 Things challenge!}

I've been seeing this meme around but I didn't decide to participate until I saw slinkslowdown's post.

I've decided to do mine for poetry. 100 poems that I enjoy. Well without further ado.

The poem that I cannot get out of my head is: Daddy by Sylvia Plath. I have the lines of it stuck in my head. I want to play the audio of her speaking it like a song. After reading this poem I was inspired to imitate it. This is a poem that has made an impression on me and I feel it deeply.
