I usually manage an average of 2 or 3 lines a day. This one took a few months and I did have a lot of trouble with it. After a time, I do lose lines and forget words, so I carry these poems around with me and read them from time to time as a review. As to forgetting, that doesn't concern me too much as their are no consequences.
Memorizing poetry gives you a feel for the language, exercises the brain, entertains when your electronics are dead, and carries on a tradition that predates writing. If you just memorize two lines a day you will have a good collection in a month or two.
This is a record of the poems we have memorized in whole or in part.
Browse the archives, search, or scroll down for links to find something to your taste. In consideration of copyright, some poems provide just a few lines and then a link which will take you to a website with permission to publish full text.
I'm very impressed! How long did this one take to memorize and how do u not forget them eventually??
