    The session of the Scissortail Festival that I attended was the the session that Sarah Webb read her poetry in the Estep Auditorium. I really enjoyed how all of her poems were about love, yet they weren't all necessarily the same type of love. I also really enjoyed getting to hear poems read out loud by the people who wrote them.

    I attended the session where John Morris and Sarah Webb read their poetry. I really loved Sarah Webb's poetry. One poem that I really liked was her poem about a toddler. I think it was titled World and Word. This poem described a toddler who was intoxicated with colors and sounds. One of Sarah's lines read, "... hunger for objects insatiable." I really loved that. It perfectly describes any young toddler who is learning about the world. I also really like the poem about caring too much about what others think about you. One line I really liked was "Divers say there is a depth from which you cannot rise."

    I really liked Sarah's poetry because it was engaging and evoked images.

    I attended two sessions during Scissortail. I heard Jason Poudrier, Michelle Hartman, Johnie ‘Catfish” Mahan, Brent Newsom, Gail Henderson, and William Peter Grasso. I believe that William Peter Grasso was my favorite.

    I made it out to the first session, and I'm really glad I did. It was a pleasure to get to listen to Ben Myers, Oklahoma's Poet Laureate. It's hard to say if he were my favorite, from that session, but I can definitely relate to him in a more linguistic sense than the others. His poetry was all uniquely Oklahoman, and deeply rooted in and dependent upon, our colloquialisms.

    My personal favorite was one of Sarah Webb's, I can't remember the name exactly, but it was about a young boy getting sexually harassed by a Catholic priest. This reading made me feel uncomfortable, but that's what made it so beautiful: it made me feel something.

    Writing is a method of representing language in visual or tactile form. Writing systems use sets of symbols to represent the sounds of speech latest resume trends, and may also have symbols for such things as punctuation and numerals. This is great writing festival you have provided really helpful information about this creative festival.
