Confessional Poetry

Last night since I couldn’t sleep I decided to research Silvia Plath. I read “Bell Jar” and some of her poetry. I like her a lot. So anyway they said the name of the style of poetry that she wrote is called confessional poetry. I write nothing but confessional type poems. Basically this means writing about intimate feelings that may be unflattering information about the poet’s life. It may be poems about illness, suicide, sexuality ect. I also just found out that my blog url isn’t what I thought it was. I looked up adjectives in Spanish and I found venenoso which I thought meant “bitchy”. I asked the Spanish teacher that teaches at the school I work at and she said it meant vein. She wasn’t exactly sure though. So oh well I don’t know if I should delete this blog and title it something like confessional poetry since that is my style of writing. Now I have better name for it instead of rhythmic reflections, even though they do always contain rhythm.
