Even though I am an avid reader and work as a freelance writer, I never read poetry. In fact, I don't think I have read any poetry since I was at school. Does anyone here actually read poetry anymore?
Every now and then I read poetry. Usually to get away and steal some alone time for myself. As a songwriter I read poetry when I'm in a writing slump. I do so hoping to spark some creativity and it usually works.
I am an avid reader and do write online but never really got into poetry. I have read a few poems on a site I work on but other than that, I'm not really into it.
