Personally I feel like I can rate my ability to be able to read poetry to maybe like an eight on a scale from one to ten. I have always loved poetry ever since I was little. I am a music lover as well and song writer so poetry plays and has always played a big part in my life. When reading poetry you have to know the flow of the poem, and to know the flow , you have to feel the rhythm of the words. This is how I often read poetry. This is how poetry catches my attention. In the poem ” My Mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun” by William Shakespeare you will find that this flow that I am referring to. One thing that I know I need to improve on is not all poetry rhymes and has a “flow” so when this happens, I tend to have trouble understanding the poem. Especially if the language is not from the present day.
