Poetry, that's a strange beast of an art form.

Printed poetry & me: “I don't get this. Why can't you put this in plain words?” Mind you, this is independent on rhyming or modernlty, or being ancient.

Poetry set to music & me: “Oh THIS is what's the fuss of all this poetic stuff can be about! People have real things to say!”

Meanwhile, prose & me: Give me a good book and the world can disintegrate around me and I wouldn't notice before finishing the story.

To confuse myself more: I don't grok poetry that well, but have written some. Even pieces others have found deep meaning in.
