Answer:
There are nine different types of intelligence. These are: Naturalistic, Musical, Local-mathematical, Existential, Interpersonal, Linguistic, Bodily-kinaesthetic, Intra-personal and Spatial intelligence.
It is hoped that this type of learning (through poetry) will help capture the interest of anyone who exhibits that particular way of learning. So it can be more enjoyed and then appreciate poetry.
However, to appreciate poetry a person must experience it and all too often poems are simply analyzed and not given the time to interact with the text and explore what it means to them on a personal basis.
