[quote=Anonymous]I read poetry- I can't really say why, I have a brain that is wired to appreciate language. I don't even always try to understand it--I think that jumping straight into analysis can ruin the experience. If a poem captures my attention, I'll read it over and over, and often the meaning just comes to me--if not, I'll read various analyses. Two poets that are wonderful and a good start, if you're interested are Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost. I also enjoy Yeats because his writing is gorgeous. Here is an Emily Dickinson poem (one of my favorites)--I think she was a genius. Ample make this bed Make this bed with awe In it wait till judgement break Excellent and fair Be it's mattress straight Be its pillow round Let no yellow sunrise noise Interrupt this ground [/quote]
