I was quite the poet myself in middle school, granted they were never about anything important. Just about the way I felt, which in turn turned out to be a lot of self-pity and hatred for everything out there. Now that I think about it, it makes me laugh.
I rather enjoy reading poetry, sometimes out of the obvious fact some are short and simple, but can hold such meaning.
I love Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Frost, e.e. cummings, and Shel Silverstein are among my favorites.
"The Road Not Taken", "Pocahontas" are two I can remember the names for.
A poem is a stanza based piece of literature. It speaks in less words than a novel, but still tells the same story.
