I think writing this iambic trimeter was much easier then writing the two iambic dimeters that we wrote earlier. I don’t know why but I think it may have been because know I understand the flow of the poem more and also because we were  able to choose our own rhyme scheme. At first I couldn’t think of something to write about then I heard the train go by and my forts though was to write about sounds. Then since it was night I decided to write about the sounds of night. When I started writing my second stanza about the whistle of a train I realized that trains use their whistle to communicate just like a wolf howls to communicate so I used that same line. Then I realized that I could use the same last line as well by and all I had to do to make it fit was change the beginning. As a whole I think this wasn’t as bad of an experience as I thought it would be.
