If I was going to be into poetry, it would be W.H. Auden's poetry. But it turns out I'm not at all into poetry.

Beautiful and engaging poetry. It's light, but still incredibly deep.
Definitely re-reading in the future. It's rare to find poetry that makes me feel this much.

Most light verse I have read is terrible. This book proves that it should only be undertaken by a great poet. Leave the epic, ode, and sonnet to the mediocre, the limerick is the realm of the genius.
There was a young poet whose sex
Was aroused by aesthetic effects;
Marvell's The Garden
Gave him a hard-on
And he came during Oedipus Rex.

A collection of light verse that covers a variety of topics and range from light in substance to only light in style. All poems are nothing short of good and some are even great. Recommended, especially if you don’t think reading poetry should be a slog.
