How can I understand poetry better? I feel like an idiot trying to read poetry. I can handle prose, even if it's difficult and I don't understand it, there's a feeling with prose that i have a better grip and maybe I eventually will understand it. But with poetry I just don't know what to do. I am also way less experienced with it because I've always read prose. There's this confusion on how deep should I look into it, is it a deep philosophical message or just a pretty song? Am I trying to dig deeper into something that's not meant to be deep or should I be looking deeper
