If there is one thing that I can't get into, its poetry. It's not that I dont enjoy them, I just have a hard time deciphering them. I think the reason behind this has to do with my high school years. I would always analyze works and have people (more specific teachers) tell me that I was incorrect. To have someone tell me that I was analyzing it the wrong way (and by wrong I mean by their perspective) made me disillusioned and cold towards poems.
But I do like Pablo Neruda and Atwood and Mary Oliver. I haven't heard much of the other poets, but I also thought that their poems were interesting. I preferably liked Neruda's poem, and the way it is in Spanish holds a better ring to having it read more fluently. Thank goodness that I can read in Spanish. It helped me better understand the poem as a whole about the beauty in nature (God, I hope that I analyzed it right).
