  • Analyse Poetry! – Hanaz Writers Podcast - Season 2 - Episode 17
    Apr 26 2025

    Welcome to another episode from the Hanaz Writers Podcast hosted by Charlotte, a Year 2 teacher from London, diving into the world of poetry this April in honour of National Poetry Month.

    In this episode, Charlotte explores simple yet effective ways to analyse poetry. From the importance of reading poems more than once to how rhyme schemes and structure (like haikus and limericks) can help reveal deeper meaning, she guides you through techniques to better understand and enjoy poetry.

    You’ll hear how a short haiku can paint a peaceful scene, or how a limerick delivers a quick punch of humour – and how the form is just as vital as the words themselves. Charlotte also touches on the challenges and rewards of unpacking longer, more complex epic poems, like Beowulf or The Waste Land, where understanding literary devices and historical language is key.

    Whether you're new to poetry or looking to deepen your appreciation, this episode offers a warm, accessible introduction.
