Week Two: Sapphos Poem

The poem that we had to read for class was called Sappho's Translation. I think it was very interesting to see how throughout the years her poem was translated so differently. I recreated my version of her poem, but put a little twist on it, by making it rhyme. To me a poem that rhymes just flows from your lips and makes the whole poem beautiful.

I think the topic of jealousy is one that almost everyone can relate to. Everyone has been jealous sometime in their life even if it was over a relationship or just a friend having something that you want. I think it is important to remember not be jealousy but to be thankful for what you have.
