Response 1- Lecture on Love

Love, my favorite topic, was the theme of one of our lectures in class during our poetry unit. In the lecture, Professor Brady asked us to write down anonymously on a piece of paper on what we think love is. My response for her was love is when you can't let go of something or someone even if it kills you. Professor Brady collected all of our papers in fishbowl and made our responses into one big class poem about love. I loved hearing everyones perspective on love. Everyone's response was very unique and special to them. I also liked this exercise because it was anonymous and everyone was able to write how they truly felt. I think this lecture really connected to poetry because it showed how beautiful words can be when they're written and felt from you personally.
