I'm not really a poetry reader and/or lover. But I am a fan of Alice in Wonderland. So poems by Carroll suit me. I enjoyed the small stories that are told in the poems. I should find Through the looking glass somewhere....
Lewis Carroll is a genius of fun and humor. I can easily see myself reading these poems over and over again.
Second time reading:
Still reading them over and over again. I'm determined to commit many of them to memory, and also to loudly sing "Turtle Soup" everytime I eat soup.
