It takes technique and attitude to read poetry. The rich imagery and sensory language of W. B. Yeats’ poem “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” convey an emotional reaction to the speaker’s longing for a peaceful retreat. The lines that convey the poem’s ideas, such as “I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore,” make it easier for the reader to identify the poem’s topics and enjoy the masterpiece. The reader is profoundly moved by the poem’s need for comfort and its striking portrayal of nature, particularly amid the fast-paced world of today. The passage “And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow” alludes to the reader’s want for calm and a more leisurely pace of existence. It takes certain abilities and a mentality to read a poetry. The poetry itself has a lot of attitude and skill. “Reading a poem requires both technique and attitude.” nicely complements the poem by W. B. Yeats.

I absolutely agree with your perspective on reading poetry and how it relates to W.B Yeat’s poem.” The lake Isle of Innisfree.”Poetry is indeed a unique form of literary expression that demands both technique and attitude from the reader.by employing rich imagery and sensory language, Yeats effectively conveys the speaker’s longing for a peaceful retreat and evokes an emotional response from the reader .It also captures the essence of engaging with poetry, where the reader’s approach and appreciation are enhanced by their ability to understand the technical aspects of the poem while embracing the emotional and imaginative qualities it possesses.
Hi Lilly, I like how you smoothly connected both the reading “How to Read a Poem” and the poem “The Lake Isle of Innisfree.” Your interpretation and the lines you mention goes hand in hand. Moreover the line “I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore,” made it easy for me to identify the poem’s topic and its meaning behind. Moreover, I do agree that we should approach poetry with the right mindset and the skills to appreciate its true beauty.
