I love reading all kinds of literature. I love non-fiction stories about real people or fiction stories that take
me to imaginary places with made-up characters. But for me, there is nothing like reading poetry. I love
reading the lines of a poem aloud to hear the rhythm of the language. A true poet can describe something
vividly and can stir emotion in a reader using only a few words. I can read a poem in a few minutes, but
spend the rest of the day thinking about the meaning.
