Wednesday, June 17, 2015: When you read a poem do you prefer to read it aloud or silently? Why or Why no?

I tend to read them silently at first and then I read it aloud if I have the opportunity. I try not disturb others in the room so I read them silently because of this. When I write my poems though I need to read them aloud to make sure they read the way I intend them to. This is the only way I know to check on the meter, if I just read them silently I don't catch when my meter is off.

Of all the types of poems I tend to read humorous rhyming poems aloud the most. They are just so much fun to read. Like Dr Seuss, how can you not read his books aloud?

I do not like green eggs and ham,
I do not like them, Sam I Am!
