Online Course Remembering Poems (free)

Recommended Posts

It starts next year.  A course to memorize 80 poems over the year.  I've been meaning to sharpen my memory and this might be a delightfully old fashioned way.  Here's the link to join- http://masterofmemory.com/poetryoptin

 

Like so many things in life.  I expect it to be hard, then once the brain learns and surrenders to it, hopefully becomes easier and easier.  Reciting a good poem can be as soothing as nice glass of wine.

I`m signed up.  Don`t want to wait for till next year though.  I`ve had the idea of "collecting" a poem a day in a journal that I like.  Maybe I`ll do that and also try to memorize one a week.  Will start small.  -_-

This is such a great idea!  I used to memorize entire plays of Shakespeare, Ibsen, Checkov... now I feel lucky if I remember my mate's phone numbers and my grocery lists.

 

My gal and I are doing something like this, this Summer with our son, to work out our brains and to get more poetry in the house.  I started last week with a sonnet.  Quick and simple.  Start with an easy victory to set the tone and lay a few easy bricks on the foundation.  Mostly, I'm just looking forward to having a fresh flow of poetry in the house again, no grand ideas that I'll be reclaiming any of my old mnemonic prowess.
