Wordsmithing



I am like Maureen, I kept waiting for someone to post because I found it a little hard. How do you edit someone's poem, strange one at that! When I watched the video it was hard for me to even keep up! A poem is someone's way to speak about something, or tell a story, so how do you edit someone else's thoughts?

He does a great job though, he has a great flow about him, speaking fast but not too fast when he is listing all the things he is talking about! It was a little hard for me to keep up and understand, I had to watch the videos a couple of times and seeing the text did help. I just changed a few commas, semicolons and I think that was it.

I liked the Internet one the best, I didn't get the Mockingbird one. I kept wondering what in the hell is he talking about with those birds! I am not into poetry, never been a poet or liked writing them when it was required in school. Even though somehow I did win a poetry contest in 4th grade about some caterpillar, funny huh.
