Academic Studies English - Reading Comprehension: Poetry

 
13

Poetry is a special form of literature: it looks different from other forms of writing, and it sounds different. Many students say that they hate poetry, probably because it takes more effort to understand poetry than prose (forms of writing other than poetry). Strangely enough, though, when people search for an appropriate way to express their feelings, such as in times of tragedy, they naturally turn to the poem as a means of expression.

 

You need only to check a daily newspaper to read examples of this in the “In memoriam” classifieds, where people wish to put into words their feelings of loss and remembrance. We all have favorites songs, and what is a song but a poem set to music?
