My Poetry Experience

So far, I have not had much experience with poetry. I have never been a big fan of poetry and in high school when poetry was touched on, I didn't pay much attention to it. It never really made sense to me, and I had never been taught how to read poetry. I never knew there was a way to read poetry, and I never knew you had to work at reading it. It really helped to me to appreciate it more because I now knew how much you had to work at poetry. Learning how to read a poem in this unit, definitely made me appreciate poetry more. I still don't care for poetry, but I have more of an appreciation for it now.
