    I live in a country where English is not the main language. But you make it look so easy to learn poems in English. I understood everything, Thank you so much. You look like a wonderful teacher and person❤

    The one dislike is from Billy Collins, angry that you did not wave at his name on the shore while water-skiing

    Same could be said of abstract modern art. People are often too caught up in finding meaning in a work and miss the visual treasures it has in of itself.

    I think you're right that the meaning of a poem DOES matter. I think the speaker is concerned about the MANNER of reaching meaning - it is great to engage with the poem in order to infer its meaning, to puzzle it out through engagement or to let its meaning wash over you like the splashes while you waterski! What the speaker does not like is when people try to bludgeon meaning from a poem, using the blunt instruments that they have in their tool box like torturers rather than like artists...
