Highlights from the comments:

ariestess notes that using poetry to tell a fannish story is a great way to introduce non-poetry enthusiasts to poetry ("[t]hey don't always like it, but some find it very interesting").

bookblather distinguishes between prose and poetry, noting "I've come to see prose as a panorama, a picture of everything around you in all its detail, where poetry is a pinhole camera, one small thing enlarged until it fills the world."

untonuggan shared her impressions and reading of Robert Frost's Atmosphere.
