I am still learning the alphabet. I can identify poetic techniques but I don’t know why they are in the poems and I don’t understand how they work. I can, however, paraphrase the meaning and put it into my own terms. 1- Poetry, I know not of you. I am seriously lost when it comes to poetry. From meaning to technique, even tone, I never feel like I get it. 0- Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry
