 After reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity," which explores the poet's daring craft, write about your most absurd personal experience. Describe a single, specific incident that felt ridiculously bold or foolish. Ensure your response is vivid, concise, and captures the essence of absurdity.


My most absurd experience would be when I went on a small plane with my friend, and we did an ultra-slow flight; it was wildly scary. We were going super slowly, and it felt like we would fall out of the sky.


Summary: Today in class, we analyzed the poem, constantly risking absurdity, and discussed it as a class.

Reflection: I learnt about how poets speak from the heart to have their poem flow more smoothly, and poets don't lie, they just stretch the truth.
