poetry

I was trying to think about one great experience I had with poetry. Although I cant really remember it that well my mom used to read me the poem "Guess How Much I Love You" every night before bed. I think this gave me a positive out look on poetry.

I used to look forward to it every night. In fact I still have the book that I read every night. I would want me mom to read it more and more every night. I think that was just the beginning of poetry for me because then I got turned onto nursery rhythms. 

From what I can remember this poem had repetition. I think that in most kids poems they have a lot of repetition because it is easy to follow that way.  Also I think in a lot of kids poetry they make everything rhythm because that is appealing to there audience.

When I hear the word poetry I think of something in loved in love. Like they are going to tell a sappy love story. But I think that I like most poetry. I don't think that I like the really long ones but the short ones that have a light topic.
