Read a Poem Aloud

More than most other things that are written, most poems need to be read aloud to be fully appreciated. In fact, the poems themselves crave it. So do a poem a favor by adopting it for a day and preparing to read it aloud for the class.

This can be one of your poems -- or a poem by another writer. Be sure the poem is well-suited for reading aloud, and keep your audience in mind as you make your selection.
