Changing My Mind

I'm really not into poetry.
When I was a sophomore in high school, I had a terrible English teacher that decided to make us read/study poetry for an entire quarter.
That all would've been well and good, if she knew anything about poetry...or even English for that matter.
She told us our interpretations of poems were wrong. Giving us the dreaded big fat F.
My disdain for poetry arose then and there.
Perhaps though, since I want to be a writer, I should give it a chance.
I stumbledupon (my new addiction) The Writer's Almanac.

It gave me this poem.

...okay, maybe poetry isn't so bad.
