How does one get into reading verse and poetry? I have always loved novels and prose but I have never been exposed to much poetry – recently I've been taking stabs in the dark at pieces of Chaucer, or other mid-millenium english poetry, but I don't quite know how to enjoy reading it. Should I start with something less complicated and in more modern language? Did you naturally find comfort and appreciation in poetry, or did you develop it?

You need to read it slower than most stuff. I have to be in the right mood to read poetry.

do you have any recommendations for interesting things to read?
