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 lover1, Mike. Personally, I've always found that stuff2 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 acquired3 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 rhyme4! 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 sonnets5, perhaps?

Mike: No love sonnets, but I did try to write some poems a long time ago. They were all really bad. Once I spent three hours trying to come up with a word that rhymes6 with "panda"!

Amanda: Silly Mike! How could you not think of "Amanda"?
