Do you recreationaly read poetry?
Sometimes.

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.

Were you forced to memorize poetry in school?
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.

Do you write poetry?
Yes.

Do you think it is any good?
Yes. Frequently. (It's that durned Elvish pride.)

Do you show it to anyone?
Yes.

Have you had poetry published?
Yes.

Were you paid for it?
No.

Has someone ever given you a love poem? Did they write it?
Yes and yes. Two people. One in middle school and one in college.

Have you ever given someone a love poem? Did you write it?
Yes and yes.

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

Can you define an anapest?
Yes. I can also define a dactyl and a trochee. And a spondee. Seriously, I will someday throw scansion parties.

Have you taken a poetry class with Mac Miller?
Yes. many. I have also TA'd for a poetry class with Mac Miller, as has Shadowedge.

Well, I still think that "rejection letter origami" is the best writing-related poetry theme ever, so maybe the scansion party will have to wait for a bit. Seriously, who could resist softening the blow of "It just wasn't right for us at this time" by turning it into cute little hoppy paper froggies.

Then, there could be an origami frog race.
