Poetry like music, appeals to the ear, an effect known as euphony. Poetry's proper culmination is to be read aloud by someone's voice,  becomes the proper medium for the poem. Every speaker intuitively  is the 'voice' of the poem by intonation, the matter of sound making sense, controlled through pitch and stress  poetry aloud  makes clear the "pause" as an element of poetry.Each reading aloud is a unique one off ,never to be repeated experience, an AS IS moment.

The true way of communicating verse , is as recitation for poetry as an art form relays  speech to ear thus becoing an 'as'as is' moment or an arrested moment unique to the mood of both reciter/heard  similar to sensations of these visiting an art gallery
