I'll have to try to find translated works. =) Right now the only poems I read are from micropoetry on Twitter. I follow a few people who write poems in Tweets, and they're really quite beautiful. Or sarcastic. Both can be wonderful. =)SmoothieGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125828599666295592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-70411182778954650952011-10-11T08:45:35.830-07:002011-10-11T08:45:35.830-07:00Hi JenM: I actually feel that perhaps schools push...Hi JenM: I actually feel that perhaps schools pushing and analyzing poetry might have something to do with the general populace's resentment of it. I know if writing weren't in my blood (as it seems to be, because I HAVE to do it), then all those papers in school would certainly have turned me off. (Note: this is not meant to be education bashing, just wish there were different ways to get things accomplished.)SmoothieGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125828599666295592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-90918224015566234512011-10-11T08:43:23.765-07:002011-10-11T08:43:23.765-07:00LSUReader!!!!

But these days I haven't gotten the time and sometimes not the patience to read poetry (And I think one needs piece and time to read poetry.). My favourites are poems by (and you will probably not know them) German classical writers Heinrich Heine, Friedrich Schiller and Erich Kästner. <br /><br />claudigc at msn dot comClaudiaGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626304738737635844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-2439427043321738002011-10-10T22:32:30.185-07:002011-10-10T22:32:30.185-07:00Honestly, I don't read poetry unless a poem is...Honestly, I don't read poetry unless a poem is posted on a blog or included in a book.

The thing that always impresses me the most is the passion in the readers' voices. Some poems can evoke that kind of passion when you're reading by yourself, and some can't. The ones I've found that do are few and far between. Of course, this could also mean that I need to read more. =)SmoothieGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125828599666295592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-59745274723290409972011-10-10T15:50:38.414-07:002011-10-10T15:50:38.414-07:00Hi Chey!

To me, poetry seems to be something best enjoyed a little bit at a time, so you can let the words of one poem sink in before going on to another.
