You can memorize an entire epic poem or book of the Bible – one verse at a time.

The other morning, I tried reciting a few chapters of Mark while I jogged. The synergy surprised me. Both reciting and jogging felt much easier.

Good epic poems are rare. Funny epic poems are almost non-existent. But what about funny epic poems that also set a whole worldview to memorable rhythm? I’ve only found one so far. But I couldn’t memorize the Glugs of Gosh until I stopped using loci and visual mnemonics.

When you’re memorizing a long poem, you don’t need visual mnemonics for every line. But if the poem is too repetitive, or too random, you may need a few extra loci to keep the stanzas in order.

“Rhyme and rhythm” may be the easiest way to remember things. But did you know that the rhythm can be even more important than the rhyme?

Hear Scripture verses as verses, with a back-and-forth rhythm. Rhythm links phrases, and turns paragraphs into poetry. Learning becomes much easier.
