I hear you both. I can distinctly remember wanting to grab Anne by the shoulders and yell, "GET A GRIP!"

My grip would have been a tad higher...

Have I found my own kindred spirits?!

Back to poetry. I remember enjoying Shel Silverstein as a kid and silly little rhyming things we'd come up with. I do love to read but I'm pretty selective with it too. Poetry in music is different. Its more clear in communication. Maybe if someone set poems to music it would be a good way to develop some appreciation for it.

I like poetry in very small doses. I haven't much patience for it, unfortunately. My favorite poetry is from rock and roll songs, truth be told.

I agree

 

[micknsnicks2mom]

i don't read much poetry. i prefer the funny, silly poems -- like Ogden Nash, Dr Seuss, and etc.

 

[muffy]

No, I don't enjoy poetry.

 

[ginny]

I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It's got some of the best rhymes and made up words I've ever heard, like floo-flunks, wuzzles, and zoo-zitter-car-zay. I love all the names of toys.

 

[Mamanyt1953]

These are the final 3 lines of "Ode to a Cat" by Pablo Neruda. I really like him.

"but I cannot decipher a cat.
My reason slips on his indifference,
his eyes have golden numbers. "
