I love his long poems - I once memorized the Lay of Earendil, and Erranty, and The Hoard, and The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon, though I don't remember all of them now. It's nice to have something to recite to myself when waiting for the bus or something.

And I do find most poetry boring; I have a collection of American verse, but it seems that Poe is the only worthwhile poet of the lot - of course, as for Tolkien, others will certainly differ on this.

One person's trash is the next person's treasure, I guess.
