There's nothing like picking up a good book of poetry. For anyone
who already reads poetry, I don't have to say much else. For those
who are not totally into reading poetry, I want to tell you right now
that you should really give it a try. It's like simplicity in
design—you need to say a lot with a little bit of words. And
believe me, there are all types of poems out there, from short haiku
to prose poems (which read much more like short scenes from novels).
And seriously—a book of haiku takes about ten minutes to read so you are not making a huge time commitment.
If you are looking to celebrate National Poetry Month along with
the rest of us, go ahead and pick up a book of poetry and start
reading. It's the only way you can find out what type of poetry you
enjoy reading.
