Poetry is a creative art form, full of beautiful language and unique observations. Poets use metaphors, symbolism, and other typ

es of figurative language to convey ideas and emotions. Poems contain moments of deep, personal thought that invite the reader to explore new situations. However, poetry is not studied much in the classroom.
When poetry is taught, teachers often use it to support other works of literature. For example, a teacher may read a poem as a way to clarify or explain a topic from a novel. Teachers might also occasionally share a poem as a way to introduce or develop the discussion of a historical figure. However, not many English classes study poetry in depth. Even those that do tend to offer only a short unit in April to celebrate National Poetry Month.
One possible reason why poetry is neglected is that students often find it difficult to understand. It's true that interpreting the structure and meaning of a poem can be challenging, especially when students do not have enough experience reading difficult texts. Relating to poems that are hundreds of years old can create even more problems.
As an alternative, teachers should introduce modern poetry in class. Doing so will help keep students more interested and engaged. By reading poetry, students can develop good reading skills, which can be transferred to other types of text. Reading poetry aloud in class can also help students improve their listening and speaking skills.
Teachers should also be willing to find more creative ways to introduce poetry. For example, teachers might use poetry in a grammar lesson. By identifying when poets have used correct grammar or have broken the rules, students can learn a great deal about the different functions and uses of language. The ability to identify rhyme schemes, syllable patterns, and other poetic techniques can increase a student's overall appreciation of language.
Studying poetry does not have to be boring or difficult. In fact, it can be fun and easy, especially with regular practice. Poetry deserves to be celebrated more than once a year. Developing a love of literature includes developing a love of poetry.
