Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:56:25 GMT http://gotpoetry.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=189722.html#189722 I've always considered attempting to memorize something to be a cruel torture for me. I would rather write a twenty page research paper than attempt to memorize something of any length -- seriously, I would. My mind just doesn't do memorization very well, I've never been able to do it no matter how hard I tried. Whenever a cruel teacher would attempt to make me memorize something in school I could maybe get through it if absolutely necessary but to me it was harder and more difficult than writing my 150 page senior thesis for college. I have a difficult time in even remembering lines to my most favorite of songs (correctly at least, I make words up quite often) that I've heard thousands of times. I do remember the content of the great poems I've read before and a few lines if given back to me will spark my remembrance of which poet and poem, but for some people memorizing (like me) can be an extremely difficult and painful thing to do. Maybe that's just the way my brain works though? -- j. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:42:55 GMT http://gotpoetry.com/Forums/viewtopic/p=189721.html#189721 "the weeds are woven in too deeply" amazing line!
