Free verse is a kind of modern popular new poetry. There is no fixed format in terms of word number, sentence number, line number, paragraph number, level tone and rhyme, but there is rhythm and rhyme. When reading, we should pay attention to the following points:
1, grasp the emotional tone of poetry.
Poetry is generally full and full of passion. Ai Qing said, "A rich and strong feeling for life is the first condition for writing poetry. Without it, you can't start writing poetry. " There is always a certain tendency in the feelings of a poem, either heroic or sad; Either joy, happiness, or indignation, indignation ..., which forms the emotional tone of poetry.
For example, Taiwan Province poet Yu Guangzhong's poem "Homesickness" is a patriotic poem that misses the motherland and longs to return to the mainland. It expresses a strong desire for the reunification of the motherland in the form of a folk song, with a deep and melancholy tone.
2. Clarify the structural level of poetry.
After grasping the tone, we should further analyze the content and structure of poetry and make clear the level of its emotional changes.
For example, the poem "Homesickness" is written in a progressive, comparative and mutually contrasting way by all ethnic groups in China, and is dotted on stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits. There are eight "heads" in the short line 16, which has a clear sense of rhythm.
3. Use imagination to express the artistic conception of poetry.
Poetry reflects social life in the simplest form, stimulates readers' imagination through typical pictures, and completes the shaping of artistic image. When reading, you must rely on rich imagination, clear thinking and full passion to present a "lyrical landscape, affectionate landscape; Scenery blending, poetic and picturesque vivid image.
For example, Li Bai's poem "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream" has a magnificent artistic conception. When reciting, we should convey our feelings by means of light or heavy, high or heroic, circuitous and slow, step by step, and show the audience the magnificent and colorful images in the poem.
4. Read the rhythm and rhyme of this poem.
Rhythm is the life of poetry, and the language rhythm of a poem full of phonological beauty is composed of stretched syllables, appropriate pauses and changeable tones. Grasping the rhythm is to divide syllables properly in poetry and express rich and specific emotional colors with changeable tones.
Example: the market in the sky in the first paragraph:
Distant/street lamp/sunny,
Like/in the sky/a star,
The sky/stars/lights are on,
Like/burn/countless/street lamps
Beautiful sentences present a wonderful illusion in the air, colorful, colorful and relaxed.
Rhythm brings wonderful reverie to the audience, so we should savor it carefully before reciting it and gradually become an artistic conception.
For example: sunflower
I don't know if the sun is up during the day-
What is the secret? Listen, listen,
It's fun to keep your head down at night-
So curious? demonstration ...
This is a folk poem. The imagination of this poem is novel and peculiar, which can fully show the intelligent and agile thinking characteristics of children, so it is full of innocent and immature childlike interest. This poem personifies sunflowers from the beginning. Asking it an interesting question by "I" is not only a question of "I", but also can arouse the small audience's serious thinking. When reciting these two sentences, the speed should not be too fast, so we should pay attention to the natural pause to arouse the thinking of the small audience. "I don't know/sun/what/secret", the stress of this sentence should fall on "I don't know" and "secret", and the suffixes of "I know" and "what" can be extended appropriately. The second sentence should emphasize "curiosity" and tone, and the end of the word "strange" should be gradually weakened. The third sentence can be combined with children's innocence and love to play, with a light tone and proper rotation of the head and eyes. The last sentence should be in sharp contrast with the third sentence. Speak slowly and gently, and pay attention to the pause, leaving room for association and aftertaste for the small audience. In short, when reciting poetry, we should pay attention to the distinct rhythm and adopt the corresponding speed according to the basic rhythm of the work. Lightly carry your back lightly, and slowly carry the heavy ones calmly. As far as a poem is concerned, the reading speed is not fixed, but varies according to the needs of expressing the content of the work.
