What is poetry to you?
The first thing that comes to mind for me is Shakesphere. "Romeo, Romeo, where forth art thou, Romeo". Totally insane right? Especially since that is not even poetry. I have not had a lot of exposure. But I am confident that is soon changing. Love letters and the childhood...Roses are red, violets are blue....everyone has had a poem read to you at some point in your life. Just what do they mean? Am I understanding it as the author meant it to be understood? To each their understanding. I am looking forward to this section of English 113.

You are absolutely right: to each their understanding! That is what is so great about poetry. Everybody can react/respond to a poem in a different way, depending on their own experiences and beliefs.
