Reason why I did William Carlos Williams

         To the readers out there, most of you might think, "Why would I do poems based off of William Carlos Williams?"
         In contrast to what you most think its not because I want to slack of or be lazy, its because I want to get points through in the shortest amount of lines possible. That is what both "This Is Just To Say" and "The Red Wheelbarrow" do so well. Both of the poems straightforwardly deliver a point out to the reader in very few lines, which brings both effectiveness and efficiency to both the poem and the poet.
         Also, to be honest the poems that I've done to emulate "This Is Just To Say" and "The Red Wheelbarrow" did not take a short time at all. I had a lot of trouble figuring out a point to deliver and then fitting it in into so little lines.
         The length of a poem does not dictate its capabilities of carrying out a message, and I wanted to carry that point out.
