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.

 Prompt Response: My most absurd experience was when I scored a goal in my soccer game for the first time in 5 years. I didn't score for 5 years, but then one day i took a shot and scored. It was so absurd because it was so rare for me to do. I was so shocked when I scored and everyone around me was shocked because they know I don't score. So this was my most absurd experience ever. 

Summary: We read a poem and took notes. 

Reflection: I learned about Lawrence Ferlinghetti and his types of poems.
