How to read Poetry

Hey guys ❤️

2. Find a poem
Books shown:

3. Read it out loud (let someone read it for you)
4. Listen to the words and what they do to you (rhyme and metre are connected to what the poem can elicit
5. Do you like the poem or not
6. If yes: read it again and again (write down your initial thoughts/ highlight passages you love)
7. Look for the things that are written
8. Look for the things that are not
9. Your own interpretation
10. AI
11. Don’t stress

Mental health note:
If you are struggling: please talk to someone! a friend; a family member or a professional.
Mental health is so important and we sometimes underestimate its effect on us.

First, you always look like a goddess in your poetry related videos. Second, I've been waiting for this video. Thanks for putting it together. I am hit or miss with poetry. I don't really want to analyze it when I read it, I just want to enjoy it. I think what you said that you don't really need to understand it all makes sense. Sometimes I can get into it and sometimes I can't - it's a mood thing for me. I tend to lean toward dark and depressing poems because for some reason, when I'm in a blue mood is when I tend to read more poetry, but I do also enjoy nature poetry. I have a shelf on my bookcase of poetry - Poe, Plath, Mary Oliver, Dickinson, then also about 10 modern /insta-poets because there is a place for those also for me. I really like Dakota Warren's collection. (that is how I found your channel) I would like to expand the types of poetry I read this year. I do have a daily poem book on my nightstand, and I read that every night - Nature poem for every night of the year As for your song tip- I do that with Hozier lyrics - His lyrics are poetry for me
