GAYS MILLS - Do you like poetry? A lot of people roll their eyes when the topic of poetry is brought up. Remember back in high school, when the English teacher would announce that for a few days some old poems would be the subject? Yeah, that kind of association sticks with many people. While some classmates really got into it, others just hung on for the duration.
