Poetry?? Errrr…
I’ve never been able to appreciate poetry. In fact, I actually don’t like poetry because I think they’re frilly writing that do not make efficient use of words, haha!
The only time I read poetry was during English Lit back in secondary school. We did Emily Dickinson and a couple other poets. Could be Keats or Browning. See, I can’t even remember!
And then you see movies or read books where the female characters get all woozy and swoony when the objects of their desire (i.e. the men) quote some verse of poetry in an effort to woo them. Does this happen in real life? Haha…
ok la… it may work for some women but it definitely does nothing for me! LOL! I don’t know Keats from Browning from Tennyson. (come to think of it, we read Tennyson’s “Ulysses” in Eng. Lit, hehe).
So anyway, some things may impress me but reciting poetry is definitely not one of them
