How to read a poem

When I was younger I personally hated writing or reading poems, thinking it was all about rhyming. After reading How to Read a Poem I know no that it is much more than that. I have a hard time reading anything I write aloud, which is something the writing says to do. So I started by reading me narrative essay out loud and it actually helps you find errors in your writing. Which is very helpful. I go both ways with poems I guess, I do not hate them, but I certainly do not love them. When picking a poem apart, it seems like there is no right answer, not one certain answer, which bothers me because how am I supposed to know what the author means? I really did not think that "The Red Wheelbarrow" had a point to it, but in a few short sentences it actually does. The way I interpreted it was not to take the small things in life for granted.
