Week 2, Response to Classmate's Journal (M. Brown/Calisthenics Week 2)

I think that Michael touches on an interesting conundrum with his statement " Meaningful?  Probably Not. Pretty neat? Oh, yeah.". I meant even add, "Hells Yeah". My reasoning for agreeing is my own calisthenics exercise this week where I did something similar to Micheal. In doing so, I found all of these words that I wouldn't usually encounter in my daily grind. For example, Xanthus. I found it; I looked it up; I wrote it; I learned. (It's the horse Achilles rode into the Trojan War given as a wedding gift from Poseidon. The horses were created by Zephyrus.) In using that allusion that I pulled randomly, it actually gave my practice some weight, an anchor to hold onto for perhaps future sign inventory and work. Micheal's recognition of the Greek references acting as a common thread in his "found poem" can be a great jumping off point for other exercises that may lead to richer imagery and specific language.
