I absolutely love reading poetry especially anything by Maya Angelou. I find myself reading it especially in times when I am confused or distressed.

What do you read? What does poetry do for you? What is your favorite poem?

I think I like writing poetry as much as reading it. I have some poems on my blog if you want to check them out.

I don't read much poetry, but my favorite poem is Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe.

Love Poe' s poetry--so sad and haunting. Walt Whitman and Charles Bukowski are a couple I circle back to.
