But isn't that cheating since you'd probably already memorized most of it? <br /><br />Between the recommendations from you and Amy, you can bet I'll be getting the class on CD when it comes out.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178771612031280593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685065582281848343.post-40118773644347678352010-07-13T13:31:18.645-04:002010-07-13T13:31:18.645-04:00The last poem I memorized was at OCON last week fo...The last poem I memorized was at OCON last week for my Poetry class. Lisa VanDamme actually has that as her last step in an 8 step process (developed by Peikoff) for getting more enjoyment out of poetry. Guess which one... :)<br /><br />K -Kendall Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347999421000858925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685065582281848343.post-65586899445787443292010-07-12T16:47:24.324-04:002010-07-12T16:47:24.324-04:00Ooh.

I'm going to give them each a book and a month. I'll report back on what was recited and how everyone did.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178771612031280593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685065582281848343.post-42744615398558836402010-07-12T13:03:05.541-04:002010-07-12T13:03:05.541-04:00That's interesting you posted this now.

Morgan and I were just talking about this, and memorizing together, some old nursery rhymes ("Mary, Mary quite contrary" and "Humpty Dumpty"). <br /><br />The last poem I really tried to memorize...hmmmmm...I think it was Sonnet 43 "How do I love thee?" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and that was years ago. I love having poems and other swaths of literature waiting around in my head. I like this poem you put up, so I might do that next. Maybe we can make a family project out of it!<br /><br />The best poem I ever memorized (and it lives on in my brains), hands down: "Kublai Khan" by Coleridge. :o)Jenn Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849654785544313839noreply@blogger.com
