Poetry that really isn't 'boring'

Hey,

I know I posted a poem on here months ago - The Charge Of The Light Brigade - and I remember then saying how; I don't get why there's still this massive stereotype - that poems are boring. Of course, as it's a stereotype, it's quite vague and sweeping to generalise and I'm not saying everyone sees them that way,  but still...  I think poems are pretty cool. Or can be. Like lyrics or short stories, their message can be inspiring, shocking or down right abstract, but never the less art in a small way.
I only started thinking more on this recently, after reading a short collection of Poems by the late Richard Beckinsale (featured briefly in my last post, he starred in 'Rising Damp' and 'Porridge' as some of his most noted work). And I can honestly say I'm moved by how beautiful they are.
He wasn't a writer by profession, these were just written as a way of venting/contemplating feelings on life/love/growth whilst juggling life as a actor and then, father. It was his wife, actress Judy Loe, who published the sort of anthology 'With Love', after his somewhat premature death aged 31. From what I've read,  her decision to do this was,  I think, a way of giving back to the many fans who felt emensely connected to the, warm, easy person we saw and continue to see in repeats on TV.
What I love about how I perceive Richard from his writing, is how simply he viewed life and repeatedly refers to "catching sunshine" as a way of talking about how he tries to see optimism rather than pessimism. I find this really enchanting, as there's nothing I love more than seeing sunshine stream through the window and I can really relate to the potential it has to make me see good. For instance, despite being quite optimistic by nature,  if I wake to see a bleak drizzly day, I feel slightly lower and lythargic - like most people I'm sure. That's why when people say 'everybody smiles when the suns out' - it's true really. Without getting too deep, I really think life's too short not to try and see the good that is around, even in the most testing situations. .
Its strange really, but because of the personal nature of the poems expressing his absolute pure feelings, I don't feel it's right to post them. Perhaps it's odd that, even despite them being published,  I feel that way. Maybe that's testimony to how touching his writings are. If you ever get a copy of the book, however, I'd definitely recommend anybody to read it.
As I've written previously I've always been a fan of many 70s comic actors through my absolute love of sitcoms, but I had no idea that Richard wrote at all  until a few weeks ago. The subject of comedy was brought up in conversation and a friend said that she was given his book years ago and that I could borrow it. And now, it's moved me so much I've posted about it... That's what I love about writing, the fact that, just by reading something it has the potential to change how you think forever.
You can never 'un read' it.
I always manage to get deep don't I?!
Have a good evening and I hope that even if one person reads this and bothers to read any of Richard's poems, you'll feel slightly better for the experience!

Good night,
Molly x
