I’ve always tried to read poetry because its supposed to be the smart thing to do, right? Well, I never could get anything out of it, I pretty much hate poetry, there I said it.
Anyone who can sit down and read a whole book of poems has a screw loose. Seriously, its a mental illness, get help!
Ok, I’m being harsh, there are lots of good poems - but I stand by comment about reading a whole book full of them :)
The only poem I ever read that I really liked was The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.
