Poetic licence

The BBC (good old Beeb) is running a poetry season at the moment. Griff Rhys Jones presented a programme on Poetry the other night.
Watching it I was reminded how much I love the rhythm of words and, with poetry, it doesn't matter that I understand every last syllable, the joy of it is the feeling that it evokes.
The programme discussed how a poem expresses the emotions that we cannot necessarily put in to words.
Andrew Motion along with some others has set up the poetry archive - http://www.poetryarchive.org/poetryarchive/home. - which not only allows the user to read the poetry but also hear it read. After all what else was it made for? I didn't grow up in a generation that was schooled to learn poetry off by heart but I might try and learn! Tyger Tyger is one of my favourites (I love the pace and sense of wonderment) and biblically I spend a lot of time in the Psalms as they are poetical in nature so maybe I'll start there - what point words if we do not make use of them?
Apropos of nothing, still enthused about the idea of letter writing, I posted one to my God Mother this morning as she hasn't been feeling well recently and I wanted to cheer her up. As I drove away from the post box I realised that I hadn't put a stamp on the letter. Sigh, forget being out of practice writing letters, I can't even post one!
