    About this ebook

    It may astound you to learn that almost everyone likes poetry . . . including you. You like songs, right? Whether it's country or rock or hip-hop, those lyrics often have a poetic sense to them, and sometimes even imagery that grabs you despite your proclamation of "I don't like poetry." For instance? Try these:
    " . . . the nights rolled by like headlights shining on a lonesome strip of tar . . . "
    Mary-Chapin Carpenter
    " . . . I'd give my soul away to hold you once again . . . "
    Lara Fabian
    " . . . the only thing that keeps us [me and Jesus] distant is that I keep f**king up . . . "
    Indigo Girls
    " . . . I wished I could forget that I used to live . . . "
    Dark Sanctuary
    Right? Now try this snippet of science fiction poetry:
    The Luddite robot
    has trouble functioning
    in our modern world,

    spends most of his time
    trying to rebut the evidence
    from his own sensors.

    Psst! There's more inside . . .
