The theme I chose for my poetry portfolio is "Perspective." Perspective is defined as a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something. I chose the theme "Perspective" because it resonates with what I struggle with and what I would like to improve about myself. I can often times find myself only seeing things from my point of view, and believing that it is the correct point of view. In actuality, most times I need to listen to a different perspective on a situation in order to truly understand all sides and make a correct decision.
I located all of my poems on various online poetry databases that I found through searching for poems that matched my theme. This was very convenient as it aided in the narrowing down of poems that I believed fit my theme.
I learned much more from this project than I had originally thought I would. Most importantly, I discovered many new poets who have amazing works that I am eager to read. Also, ironically, I was able to look at poetry from a different perspective than before because of the diversity in poetry I picked and the differing points of view from the poets.
