Approach it this way..  -- Think of studying poetry like learning how to rock climb. It will make you work hard, You will have to find handholds and footholds and you will climb only a bit at a time. Sometimes the climbs will be easy; some will be more difficult.  -- Poets leave trails to help you look for the way “up” a poem. You will have to work to find them!
