Poem? What Poem?


What do you see in a poem? What do you hear from a poem being read? Can you read a poem with the eloquence and elegance of your overly passionate English teacher with a booming voice and dramatic hand gestures, swinging to and fro across the stage called a "classroom"? Or do you just you know stare and nod at nothing while just thinking about cats and food? But we know poetry and some of its terminology. Like Metaphors, similes, alliteration, couplet, limerick, and free verse are what I see but if you ask me to analyze, I would rather show you I am the first four letter of the hated word "analyze." However, P is Patience O is Openness E is Emotions M is Magical Give your time to a poem. Read the poem thoroughly. let the verse, the words, the syllables reach your cerebral hemisphere. No mumbling No whispering No murmuring Enunciate the poem clearly with power of a Pokemon battle against a Miltank horde. Mock you teacher if you have to if you don't want the power of a dozen cow Pokemons. Let the poem flow in. Let all the words, stanzas, verses, and syllables in And never forget to let the Poet in Let the Poet in and you will feel the poem's emotion and the emotions of the Poet. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Poems can be ambiguous but form your own opinion on a Poet's expression Once you understand the poem the poem transforms into a magical, musical read with its fancy poetic devices (Although, the same can't be said to some free verse. too free and liberated) Read a Poem Enjoy the Poem Be the Poem Reading poetry is a luxury to understand and comprehend Or as they say today when it comes to reading poem, YOLO #SWAG LOL I'M SPARKNOTING THIS SHIT XD TOTALLY LIKE WTF TEACHER??? XD
