By whom? Shakespeare, Margaret Atwood, Sappho, my friends, T. S. Eliot when mad, e. e. cummings when more mad, and people who get published in magazines that I would also like to be published in (hangs head in shame).
Have you acedemically read poetry? Heck yes.
When, and did you enjoy it? Every grade and every Language Arts / English / Reading class that I can remember. More in college. And yes.

Did you memeorize poetry for your own amusement? Yes. I have also occasionally memorized poems on accident.
Do you still remember any of it? Yes.
Do you quote poetry often in normal conversation? Yes, but I quote Buffy and random fantasy novels more.
If poetry were a skill in a roleplaying system, what level would you have in it? (system and level, please) I do not know enough about roleplaying systems to answer this question properly. I am probably a level 4/5 high court elven bard somewhere, though.

Can you name four different forms of poetry? Yes, I can.
