Poetry Test

Today in class we took a test on the poem we read yesterday. The poem was very complex, but I used context clues and my prior knowledge. The first time I read the poem I didn’t understand, but since my teacher explained it thoroughly, I understand now. As I took the test I tried my best to think about my life as a child.When I was a kid my sister ,and I went to the circus every year with our grandparents. The poem compared poets to acrobats , so my prior knowledge really helped me think about that.
