Poetry Experience

My poetry experience is very little.  In high school, we maybe read around five poems, but we did not work enough with them for me to remember anything about them.  I remember our teacher telling us that music was poetry, which if it is, I love poetry.  My definition of poetry is a line of words that can rhyme, but do not have to, and portrays a meaning to the reader in their own way.  I prefer reading poems that rhyme, because it flows and makes it easier to read.
