Why, hello there, The Big3. How nice to meet you.
My name is Erica. I enjoy cycling, books, persimmons, and politics. I also like dancing (modern and international dancing), though I haven't done much recently. And I love poetry! Say, do you like poetry, by any chance? If you do, then maybe someday you can tell me what you think poetry is, and we can debate it!

Hmm. I read this post of yours to a Mr. Bungalow, and I must say that I don't think he has a miserable understanding of poetry at all! Of course, one reason for this may be that I share his views!

I agree with you completely, bungalow. Whether someone dislikes the subject or form of a poem doesn't mean it isn't poetry.
