Do you enjoy reading poetry? - Nebulous - 05-12-2023 Do you enjoy reading poetry? Do you have a favorite poem? RE: Do you enjoy reading poetry? - Judel - 05-13-2023 While I have written a few poems in the past, I really do not tend to read poetry.  Limericks are fun though. RE: Do you enjoy reading poetry? - Nebulous - 06-19-2023 To be honest, in my spare time, no I don't really seek out poetry and read it. However I have come across a few cool ones in my day. I always liked this one: Jabberwocky BY LEWIS CARROLL ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy. ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
