The question is , how can one live without poems??

VilleSmile [:)], I have two questions and if you may, I'd like you to answer them:

1- Haven't you ever taken a poetry course?

2- Do you like poems written in your mother tongue?

Hi Ville,

Do you like listening to songs? Do you enjoy the lyrics?  If you do, you should like the sounds of poetry.

If your intention is to "improve your culture", why worry about liking the poems?

You can carry on studying poetry, as you would study any other subject you dislike; and perhaps one day, you'll find one or two poems that you can read with pleasure.

Ville--
Poems are the closest thing written language has to truth.
You should learn to appreciate poetry not only for its fluency with language, but more so for its ability to awaken part of you that you didn't even know was asleep.

hey ville

where you from? Turkish poems are not  as difficult as other language ... ain't tukish languaga is your mother tounge? if it is what 's the problem ?  If you live in turkey you suppose to learned your culture !!

Im proud of my culture it  gave us lot of things , didn't it?

alas! The poem is like women  or human , it's need to beloved ... you should love to writing poem... you should feel it in the deep of your heart... all start and end inside!!

Poem  describe feelings , ideas , separeteness , pain , hate ... etc..

poem come from the inside of heart... it's reflect  what you feel at all...

warm regards,
