A lot of poets will use different poetic devices or figurative language to emphasize or to add to the theme of the poem.
- Search up the words you understand. This will boost up your vocabulary.
- Try to find out what the poem is about. Helps you understand it more deeper.
- Think of how the author or author’s background could be connected to the poem. An author might’ve tried sending a message or information about his past or current life.
- Think about which emotion do feel is being expressed in the poem. By doing this you can understand the author better and what he or she is trying to say.
- Read the poem out loud. This helps you memorize it better.
All of these tips are helpful when reading a poem. They will help you understand the poem better and easier to understand. These are my personal tips that help me understand it better but it does not necessarily mean they will work for you too.
