What is your experience with poetry?

I enjoy reading poetry. I was first exposed to Dylan Thomas when I found out that Robert Zimmerman (Bob Dylan) took Dylan's first name as a tribute. I then fell in love with Jim Morrison's work. I've read a lot of his poetry seperate from the music, and although it isn't as strong I still consider it good. However, when you add the music of The Doors his poetry transcends another level. Last semester I attend my first poetry reading with George Williamson. I had a good time, and plan on attending a few this semester.
