Myself, the wall to reading poetry was the antiquated and literary language, but thanks to the touch screen dictionary a whole world of reading opened up.
I found I really like the old epics. I just finished *The Romance of the Rose* (which is an easy and charming read) and have been reading *Idylls of the King*, an Arthurian story.
If you do like poetry or epic works in poetry, what are you reading?
