Sonnets Part 2

I thought that the 100,000,000,000 Sonnets was the most interesting reading this time. It was really thought provoking how you could read a line one way in a sonnet and then when you changed a line or two that it could change completely in meaning. This highlights what I find most interesting about poetry, it can be so abstract. I thought it was really cool how you could take a line from each Shakespeare Sonnet in order of the sequence and it would create a sonnet that still portrayed the general theme of the sequence. Reading William Carlos Williams was interesting. I took a class on the Beat writers and they referenced him alot but I had never had a chance to actually read him before.
