A Poetry Meme:

Do you recreationally read poetry?
--Yeah, sometimes, if I stumble across something interesting. I like funny poetry, silly haikus, and emotional poetry. I'm very fond of things involving the pastorale, love, and sensory input.

By whom?
--I like Ogden Nash's stuff. It amuses me.

Have you academically read poetry?
--Yeah.

When, and did you enjoy it?
--Pretty much throughout high school, and I didn't for the most part, because having to pick it apart made it less emotional and more mechanical. Also, a lot of the poetry we went over just didn't appeal to me.

Were you forced to memorize poetry in school?
--Yeah. Short things like Nothing Gold Can Stay.

Did you memeorize poetry for your own amusement?
--I did at some point, but it's gone now. ^^;

Do you still remember any of it?
--Not really.

Do you quote poetry often in normal conversation?
--No, but sometimes I like to wax poetic, so to speak.

If poetry were a skill in a roleplaying system, what level would you have in it? (system and level, please)
--If it was in D&D, I'd probably have between a 2 and a 4, with +2 synergies from writing and +2 synergies from emotional creativity, since I have at least five ranks in those. So, 4-6 total. In Exalted, I'd have Zenith Caste Poetry 2.

Do you write poetry?
--Sometimes.

Do you think it is any good?
--Yeah. I like it more when I'm writing it than when I go back to look at it later. My opinion towards it tends to sway back and forth a bit.

Do you show it to anyone?
--Hardly ever. I'm really private about it.

Have you had poetry published?
--No.

Were you paid for it?
--N/A.

Has someone ever given you a love poem? Did they write it?
--Yeah, but they were joking. It was random, and they wrote it.

Have you ever given someone a love poem? Did you write it?
--Yeah, but I was joking also. It was random; I wrote it. My few and far between love poems actually addressed to people... never make it to them.

Can you name four different forms of poetry?
--Haiku, sonnet, epic... ode?

Can you define an anapest?
--Nah, it's one of those syllable accent forms.

Have you taken a poetry class with Mac Miller?
--No, can't say I have.
