Amanda: Hi, Mike. What are you reading?
Mike: Oh, these are just some books I picked up at a local poetry festival that took place a couple of weeks ago. Even though a lot of what the featured poets read wasn't in English, it was still neat to see that there are so many people who appreciate poetry in Taiwan.
Amanda: I didn't know you were such a poetry lover, Mike. Personally, I've always found that stuff a little bit boring and hard to understand. All that flowery language gives me a headache! I'd rather read a nice long novel any day.
Mike: I'll admit that poetry's an acquired taste. But once you learn more about it, you'll find that poems aren't all flowery and incomprehensible-they don't even have to rhyme! One of my favorite poets is Billy Collins, who writes really funny, clever poems in simple everyday English.
Amanda: I'll have to look him up. Say, have you ever written any poetry of your own? Some love sonnets, perhaps?
Mike: No love sonnets, but I did try to rewrite some poems a long time ago. They were all really bad. Once I spent three hours trying to come up with a word that rhymes with "panda"!
Amanda: Silly Mike! How could you not think of "Amanda"?
