I love the sound of it.

I have been terrible about keeping up since then though. <br /><br />I completely agree about teachers making poetry seem so mysterious that it ruins it for children. One of my friends is a college professor and she mentioned the other day that she used to team teach a class with another professor. The two of them would get into discussions, taking different views in interpreting some of Shakespeare's work and it would confound the students at first. There really are different ways of looking at literature, and not just poems. And we get stuck on getting it wrong when really it is all a matter of perspective.

And much of modern poetry I've encountered isn't like that at all.

I agree, it is fascinating how differently each of us can interpret poetry, especially based on our own life experiences and where we are in any given moment. It can even change for the individual person.

Like with any genre or category of writing, I enjoy some, but not others. It's the same with poetry. If I feel like I am working too hard on it, I've come to accept it's probably not for me.

My only claim to fame is having a few of mine in a couple of the annual high school creative writing booklets. But then, I haven't really tried to publish them.
