Dear Mickey Morgan.
Its Is In my opinion that In regards to Students in education should be exposed to various sources of Poetry In their curricular time spent.
It Is In my belief of that Poetry Is a very Important component of reaching ones true maturity. Like art, poetry and beautiful and has very connecting and deep meanings. English Influences a healthy and creative mind and Imagination, as of such I feel that poetry would enrich such goal for a English student in regards to the nature of Poetry: There are millions of poetry flavors, You can virtually create a Poem from any source of Inspiration or subject, as the world is so full and different flavors of Poetry, I suggest that for Students to see a much bigger picture In the beauty of the world and both English and truly appreciate some of the greater things that can be produced with time and effort.
It Is also In my best Interest to mention that Poetry doesn’t have to be their, say what It wants to say and then just stay there, but rather that the poem and travel with the Audience for a lifetime In the form of a advice Poem, or rather Didactic Poem. Even more so, asides of helping those who are far to naive to the world and barley understand just how marvelous It Is once given time, we also have Poems that reflect on the world we live In. In My opinion, I found that these types of Poems are very Important to educational curriculum as those who may not have seen how the world Is or rather have not given it a chance to really show It’s true colors just might be able to truly appreciate How great It feels to be a part of such a perfect creation.
Now, I understand that some Individuals may disagree with Poems being a part of the School Curriculum as they or most might find Poetry very confusing as to some of the meaning in regards to the context that It might provide, or that some It of uses in language are just too difficult to decipher, In these opinions, I strongly disagree. there are so many Poems out that have may contain something beautiful, whether It be that It based on a very serious subject, or Its just there to get the Audience a good laugh, some Poems are meant to help people who have yet to understand they environment that they live and how privileged they are to be a fundamental part to It. And yes, even though It be hard to understand at first, give the Poem and yourself some time and you just might find out how Important that piece might be to you.

Finn –
Excellent letter, very thoroughly explored topic and some vivid imagery here. I enjoyed how you connected Art in general to Poetry in particular. Lovely work.
Next time, only use capital letters for proper nouns and the beginning of sentences, though. This gave me a headache!
