I've always liked a few poems but I was never able to get into most poetry.
I recently learned that reading it out loud fixes that, particularly with modernist poetry. I'm able to naturally find the rhythm/meter and suddenly it clicks. So yeah, if you've never "gotten" poetry, I'd recommend reading out loud to yourself.
