All loneliness is NOT bad!
As I did research for my multi-genre project I can across many poems about loneliness. I was expecting to find a variety of poems that were about not only loneliness making you sad and depressed but also ones that stated how loneliness had made them strong and a better person. I soon found that what I was hoping to find was not going to be as successful as I planned. It seems that out of all the poems I read, they all discussed how sad and depressing it was to be lonely. I know from personal experience that to be lonely is just a temporary thing intended to make you stronger. It is an emotion that forces you to go on and get beyond it. It is simply a bump in the road to happiness. You just have to patient.

Heather, It sounds like you've made an interesting discovery! Are you thinking of doing a project, then, that contrasts these poets' view of loneliness (as sadness) with your view of loneliness (as a temporary emotion that can have positive outcomes)? I'm interested in hearing more of what you plan to do...
I really like your positive take on loneliness, which often contradicts many other thoughts about it. Did you write your second literary analysis on loneliness or is this a start to your multigenre project?
