"A Poem becomes a poem when it is read!"

The quotation above is what I have learned from Mr.Wong Phui Nam on last Monday. Meeting him has enrich my knowledge about poem. In this blog, I would like to share what I have learned from him. Although we have just met him in a just a short moment, but there is lots of things that I have learnt from him. Previously, I have read poem but I did not know the skills how to read it. Mr.Wong Phui Nam makes me realized that poem is meant to read aloud so that readers can get the sense of it. Then, i learned that it is important to get rhythm of poem and the diction of the poem. Therefore, a poem is able to create a spelt. Furthermore, I have learned that the tone of the poem is the attitude of the poem to the subject. If the tone is right, it reflects what the poet feel about the subject. Besides that, through symbolism, people who have the knowledge will only know what the symbol is. When reader reads the poem, the images will create emotion because emotion comes from thought. In conclusion, meeting Mr. Wong Phui Nam has inspired me motivates me in learning literature.
