I don't memorize other people's poems but I do memorize my own. I compete in poetry slams and often I like to memorize my own poems as I really don't like to read off a phone or a piece of paper as I feel like it takes away from the performance. At times it can be tough to memorize pieces that are about three minutes long but it's rewarding when a performance works out. I have never really tried to memorized shorter poems that aren't my own but maybe I should.
