Getting a good text book like Cleanth Brookes/Robert Penn Warren "Understanding Poetry" would be the way I suggest to get into reading poetry. Also getting a good anthology like Palgrave's or Anthony QuillerCouch, that covers a lot of poems and poets from different eras in small portable hand book format. Personally the most enjoyment I get out of poetry is when I seen words and phrases that leap out to you in a surge of meaning and emotion. Like for example, these fragments: "Do more bewitch me than when art, is too precise in every part." "A box where sweets compacted lie," "Thus, though we cannot make our sun,Stand still, yet we will make him run." "Two paradises 'twere in one, To live in Paradise alone." "O Grave! Where is thy victory? O death! Where is thy sting?" "There is a Book by seraphs writ with beams of heavenly light" "And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing."
