Lots of interesting comments - One of the oddest things about poetry (I
think) is that it survives in the modern world at all.
I agree with most thats been said, but then we are enthusiasts. Ordinary
people often think poetry is what you get in greetings cards, and that it
goes tum-ti tum-ti rhyme tum-ti- tum-ti rhyme. Or they think it's 'modern'
stuff that they won't be able to understand so why should they try?
My definition is that it is a great tradition, and it is music that uses
words.
