That's a nice one. *likes it too* I'm a bit picky with poetry: I like the more old-fashioned, structured stuff, usually nineteenth century Romantic (as in: to do with nature, not necessarily love) poetry, but I absolutely hate most modern poetry. For me it's about the evocative language, so I don't like fragmented, torn or nonsensical poems. And while I like reading poetry, analysing it always ruins the fun. Also, I'm bad at it. We've been learning them since seventh grade, but I still can't distinguish between rhyme schemes etc. Anyway, this? Is lovely. I like the style and the meaning. *notes William Blake for further reading*
