I havent read many collections of poetry, or single poems for that matter. It is not something I gravitate to in my normal course of reading. I just dont know how to embrace poetry. Maybe it was a poor high school education that contributed to my utter lack of understanding things like meter, rhythm, iambic pentameter, and all that goes into creating a poem. For me enjoying a poem has always been an impulse or gut reaction, either the poem is instantly OK or its not. The memorability of a poem
