[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like poetry but I don't seek it out. I enjoyed it a lot as a kid and still have my childhood poetry compendium. Some pros: I like wordplay, the effort of a well-chosen rhyme, a particularly vivid image Poetry is time-efficient compared to reading books Poetry can be part of cultural & history studies since they are shaped by them Poetry can be sung to music/turned into songs and vice versa Comic poems exist and are good for a laugh (limericks, etc) Here's my true confession: I find ballet and [b]most classical music really boring[/b]. [/quote] Too bad. You are missing out.[/quote] I don't think people who don't really "get" or enjoy poetry are missing out. If you just don't like it, you're not going to get anything out of it and therefore you aren't missing out on something you'd otherwise get/enjoy by reading it.[/quote]
