I grew up reading Shel Silverstein and Ogden Nash but as an adult, I don't read a lot of poetry. I went through a phase where I read a bunch of nature poetry I enjoyed. Poetry is difficult for me because when I read I'm very much a literal thinker so when there is a lot of symbolism and metaphors I tend to get lost in what is being said (it's also why I struggle with allegories). But it doesn't keep me from trying. Since it is National Poetry Month, I thought I would give poetry a shot this month. I have a few suggestions if you want to read poetry this month. They are all pretty short so it won't be a big time commitment if you are just wanting to test the poetry waters.
