What kind of intelligence do we value most? How can a poem help us question our ideas about intelligence?

There are nine different types of intelligence. These are: Naturalistic, Musical, Local-mathematical, Existential, Interpersonal, Linguistic, Bodily-kinaesthetic, Intra-personal and Spatial intelligence.

It is hoped that this type of learning (through poetry) will help capture the interest of anyone who exhibits that particular way of learning. So it can be more enjoyed and then appreciate poetry.

However, to appreciate poetry a person must experience it and all too often poems are simply analyzed and not given the time to interact with the text and explore what it means to them on a personal basis.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
