I decided to discuss the poem Introduction to Poetry by Billy Collins, on the middle of the page 733. I believe that this poem has a strong intention to persuade readers into thinking less about how to interpret poetry so harshly and strongly but instead to let the poem explain itself in the end. In lines 7 and 8, he says “or walk inside the poem’s room and feel the walls for a light switch” which I came to understand as just go with the feeling of the poem and understand how it connects to you, rather than trying to understand what others get from it as well. He talks about how he wants his readers to “waterski across the surface” instead, gliding through it with ease and flow. I think the most powerful part of the poem is the end though,
