I like to read poetry. I know the name Rabindra Nath Tagore, but I have never read any of his poems. My favourite poets are two Danes called Michael Strunge and Dan Turell.I have a collection of poems written by Michael Strunge, it is a huge book, and I haven't read all of the poems yet, but I like them very much. I also like Dan Turell very much, his poems are a very different from the ones written by Michael Strunge, but I think that they are great, too. There are a few more Danish poets that I like: Henrik Nordbrandt, Peter Laugesen, Poul Borum etc, but Michael Strunge and Dan Turell are my favourite.

I love poetry -- both reading them and writing. I do not have a favorite poet in particular but I do enjoy the works of ee cummings. I just love a good poem and doesn't matter who wrote them.

Yes, I love reading poetry. I only began to start getting interested in poetry, when I took a poetry class, in university, last year. I must admit that I don't read a lot of poetry, but I do read more poetry than I used to. I'm slowly reading more and more poetry. There are some poems that I can relate to. Not many, but there are still a few.

I like to read a poetry, I do it 2-3 times a month, not oftener. I need a special mood for reading poetry books, I like to get swallowed up by the poems. My favorite poet is latvian Imants Ziedonis. He is still alive and writes excellent stories, poetry, epiphanies and children books. I like his way of explaining simple things, he can write a poem about a milk and bread so it sounds special.

I do read lot of books and poems. But will not say that i am fan of poetry. Yes i have read Rabindra Nath Tagore's Poems (English Translation off course). His Heaven of Freedom is one of favoirutes. He is the only person who has written National Anthems for two countries. Anyways Ruduyard Kiplings' "If" is my favourite poem. I also do read lot of local language poems.

I not really crazy about reading poetry. I think the reason is that I can't really realate the the stuff I have read. I like to read some fun poets like Shel Silverstein.

Hello suman2008! Well, honestly, I love to read books but I don't like to read poems. I don't know why I don't have interest in poetry. I mean I love writing poems but it seems that reading poetry makes me lazy.
