Why is poetry so difficult to understand? How can I understand

Either you need to step up your grammar/vocab/musical ability/knowledge base so you can appreciate it, or you've just been reading bad poetry.

its not hard to understand. stop looking for meaning and read what's on the page.

Practise reading aloud to feel for the sound. There are good introductions to metre (e.g. "Meter and Meaning") Narrative poetry is pretty constant and so good for getting used to metre. Dramatic poetry can help with imagining exclamation and how words can be acted. The music of it all is important.

Anime-Anon. If I were with you physically I could read to you and help you understand. It's very intuitive once you grasp it.

Nothing lewd about two young guys sitting lap in lap reading poetry to one another.
