Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

I would rather read a poem then having to read a story. Poem's are shorter for one, also reading a story would make me want to give up. Reading a poem is understanding and is nice to think about what it ment. Even when I was in grade school I enjoyed reading these because the way they were formated. Depending on the author they write in certain ways that make it unique, story's can leave a big blank in your head afterwards. I think anyone would want to read something shorter with a lot of meaning then having to read two-hundred pages.
