Childhoods Presence in Poetry


Although it was the shortest and most childish of all the poems we have read, I thoroughly enjoyed Ogden Nash's "The Panther", along with all of the other poems by Nash that Professor Accardi posted in the discussion board. I liked to write poetry when I was much younger, however have a lack of interest in it now. Nash's playful writing style intrigued me regarding poetry for the first time since my early childhood, something I miss more than anything. I love the words he makes up at the end of his poems as I find them to be the most witty and clever aspect to his writing. Creativity is something I cherish, and I love the fact that Nash's poems are not only directed to children but to adults as well.
