Introduction Of Poetry – Post Reading

According to the poem, there are two ways to learn a poem, and it’s meaning. One way is the slow way, and according to the poem, the better way. The other way, is the fast way,(in) which you don’t really over extended to understanding(phr.+gr.) the poem meaning.

Personally, I like the slow way, (in) which you really “connect” to the poem, reads(gr.) it a few times to understand the poem('s) meaning by you(ww.- on your) own, without any help. In this way, you can improve your skills by sitting and understand(ww.+gr.) the poem, and then this ability will help you understand other poems in the future.(Give an example of a skill you develop this way)

The problem on(ww.) the slow way, is that you analyze the poem by yourself, (Start a new sentence) from your point of view, you(ww.-your) analyze(ww.-analysis) is right, but technically you analyze(ww.) might be wrong, and no one will be there to tell you that your(ww.) have been mistaken.

To conclude, from my point of view, the slow way is better than the fast way, but the slow way have(gr.) disadvantages that make the poem analyze(wo.+ww.) harder and you have to consider the fact that you might (be) wrong.

Not bad. But still needs work. The point is not just reading poems slowly or quickly, it is all about experiencing them through your senses and feelings, making it more fun to learn poetry.
