What has your experience with poetry been throughout your life?

My experience with poetry has mainly been through the English courses i have taken throughout the years. My English teacher in high school provided some great poets for us to study. My two favorite poets would have to be Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Frost. Both of their works are brilliant and i find them interesting. The poems that we had to do for homework did not spark my interest. I found the first poem was hard to interpret.
