I used to appreciate poems a little bit more when I was still in high school. I have even written some poems at the time. But since after college, I can't remember ever trying to write any poem. I still read some poems once in a while.
Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Ozymandias" was the last poem I read. It is a very potent reflection on the fleeting nature of power and the inevitable passage of time.
I don't tend to read poems as much as I used to if I am honest mainly due to me being so busy at the moment with work. If I remember rightly, the last poem I read was a poem that my now 15-year-old son wrote and it was selected to be printed in a book that went on sale. Was very proud of him for that.
This is lovely. I used to write poems when I was a teenager, it's sad that I couldn't keep up with it now. I used to be under a lot of pressure to write back then.
