Most of us dont read poetry.
Why?
Beyond school, we dont dig into poetry...wonder why??
Is poetry stuff for dreamers? For folks who arent practical?
Poetry isnt just decorative stuff, there is more substance to it and it can convey something more profound than hundreds of pages of a novel.
I have enjoyed poets and poetry all along and most of them have stayed on in my minds and influenced me in one way or the other...
There a few folks who dont dig into music, but there is a great majority of folks who enjoy music - no matter what the genre is...but then why dont we just enjoy poetry?
why are we hesitant to visit the poetry section of a bookstore? why dont we even think about it?
Whatever be your reason, make sure it rhymes!
:-)
