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)
