That's really lovely to learn how you came to poetry, and that you recited The Raven in 3rd grade, haha. We would have gone along splendidly! XD
I have a complex relationship with poetry, probably because it's so... condensed/intense? At least for me as a reader. I must be in the right mindspace to go down that hole, if that makes sense. Regardless I recently found it a wonderful writing challenge: tried to tinker some haiku myself and had LOADS of fun! (Although I strayed more than once from the original premises I'm afraid.) It's exactly the mixture of both arcane and universal pictures that attracted me!
