I think that the fact that clichés come from universal truths, which is in itself a cliché, means that we all without constant focus on it fall prey to it. I know I do. Unfortunately we live in a time where there is very little new under the sun (that's another one) so it comes subconsciously.
I'm no expert, but I like to read poetry with no socks on and in the voice that my Dad used when he read the bible to us as kids. But you can read poetry anyway you like! In seriousness though, it helps to just sit down and read your work aloud making note of when you need to take a breath etc.
But again I'm no expert and often try to read a poem aloud without taking a breath
