I've never been able to get the hang of poetry and admire those that do it well. My creativity just doesn't seem to go down that path. :(
I used to loathe poetry (even had the hubris to tell one of my writing professors - a poet - the same which was an awful move for multiple reasons). I always thought it was a pretentious way of writing and, really, just didn't understand it. But as I learned to actually read it, I have grown an appreciation for it both as a literary medium and as an historical form. That being said, I'm likely the last person you'll find writing it and very rarely do I seek out new poetry collections to ponder. I'll read what is sent to me or what I stumble upon, but I don't seek out poetry. There's a sort of pleasantness in this type of random discovery.
