Are you a poetry lover? Or simply hungry for a bit of culture? Poetry is one of the oldest known forms of art and entertainment; poetry as an art form may predate literacy. Many ancient works, from appear to have been composed in poetic form to aid memorization and oral transmission, in prehistoric and ancient societies.
