I gues it really does depend on the author and them performing it because reading it on the page rarely does anything for me.<br /><br />I assume I read your poem right and it made me sad. Alone is sometimes the worst thing to be.Juliana L.

Some I like (e.g., Langston Huges' Weary Blues), but I struggle with the analysis. In the end I just feel inadequate and stupid. <br /><br />But I believe most poetry is like a play. It's meant to be read aloud to hear the inflections and rhythm. Often reading aloud helps you understand the poem more.Laura M.
