We had that in my house when I was a kid (hardbound) and although I opened it many times (the title is so beautiful it lured me) I could never get into it. To this day verse usually bores me. I'm always "Quit trying to show off and get to the POINT."

I’ve always loved this poem. I think I was in the seventh grade the first time I heard it. I still read it from time to time.

I just fail at the whole "appreciating poetry" thing. :-)

Except for a very few exceptions.

I’m the same. Usually I’m not a big fan of poetry, but every so often one grabs me. Like this one. ☺️

Great cover (and the name of my neighbour's daughter!)

It’s a beautiful name, I think. And the cover is gorgeous, isn’t it?

To go along with a beautiful story. ☺️

I have to admit I am not patient enough for poetry.

I don't normally, or not often, but there are some that really get to me. Several of Poe's come to mind, but this has always been my favorite.
