Poetry A Review

Poetry differs from prose writing because… It squeezes more meaning into fewer words. It also uses rhythm, and techniques such as meter and simile. It is often arranged in lines and stanzas as opposed to sentences and paragraphs. It can be more free with word order and the use of punctuation.

Strategies for Reading Poetry 1. Preview the poem. Read the title – it’s a great hint about the poem’s subject! Notice the poem’s form: its shape, its length of lines, and whether or not it has stanzas.

Strategies for Reading Poetry 2. Read the poem aloud. As you read, see if there is rhyme; listen for rhythm, as well as overall sound of the words in the poem. Pause at the ends of complete thoughts, not necessarily at the ends of lines. Look for punctuation to find the end of a complete thought.

Strategies for Reading Poetry 3. Visualize the images Picture the images and comparisons the poem makes. Do the images remind you of feelings or experiences you’ve had?

Strategies for Reading Poetry 4. Think about the words and phrases. Think about what the choice of words adds to the poem. Allow yourself to wonder about any words or phrases that seem to stand out. They are probably emphasized on purpose.

Strategies for Reading Poetry 5. Try to identify the theme. Ask yourself, what’s the point of this poem? What message is the poet trying to send or help you create?

Strategies for Reading Poetry 6. Let your understanding grow. Often, poems need to be read more than once. Pay attention to first impressions, but reread to add to your understanding. A third or fourth reading might clarify some details you missed at first.

“The Road Not Taken” Discussion Questions What does the path represent? Why do you think the speaker stood for a long time examining both paths? Why does the speaker doubt he will ever “come back” to this fork? Why does the speaker tell the story with a sigh later in life? Why is the title of the poem not “The Road Less Traveled”?
