I never got the point of poetry, even after giving it an honest shot many times. It felt far too compressed to express any thing. I could not separate it from how I would appreciate music. Maybe its because I don't start from the same base as others.
You are right, maybe some humanities classes would've helped or I'm just wired this way.

Not what I was actually pointing to, but thanks; I'll pass the critique along to my old MA thesis advisor. ;)
