I probably should have posted this during April but better late than never. Last month was national poetry month and I read these two books. I love reading poetry because it makes me think more about what I am reading kind of like when I am reading classics. I know that reading poetry isn't for everyone and I remember when I was in school I had a hard time reading and understanding them. Here are some tips to make reading poetry a little easier.
1. Read slowly
2. Try a relaxed tone
3. Pause at the end of each line.
4. Try reading the poem aloud
5. If you don't know a word look it up
6. Don't skim it
7. Be Patient
8. Try to visualize
I hope that this was helpful.
