>your favorite method for memorizing poems

I use a small whiteboard and write the poem over and over again. Sometimes, I'll write each line on their own flash card, shuffle them, and then arrange them in the proper order.

I read them over and over while running. The rhythm helps with the meter.
And I recently read that exercise can increases memory by 20% (high intensity exercise).
But I mostly do it for the rhythm and because I have nothing else to do and it makes running enjoyable.

I tried reading off of a piece of paper today and just kept getting distracted because I had to look up every one in a while to see where I was going.

Audio recordings. Eliot is easy- all his best he read into a microphone, so you can listen to him. Ezra Pound did it a bit too.
