A Two Minute Reading Exercise

Hear what changes when you speak a poem.

Choose a short poem. Speak it once at conversation speed and once with a pause at each line ending. Which words become louder or stranger? Try a third reading that follows the punctuation. There is no single correct performance; listen for the meaning each reading makes.
