[Newspoetry] Press Release: Get in Shape: Read Poetry

[John Newmark]

Press Release:

Get in shape!  Read Poetry!

"According to psychologists at Scotland's Dundee and St Andrew's
universities, poetry exercises the mind more than a novel."

Yes, that's right...
  
If you want your mind, slim and fit
you don't want to read classic lit
instead it's with meter and rhyme
you want to spend your time!

And if picking up a book of poetry frightens you...don't worry!

"Preliminary studies using brain-imaging technology also showed
greater levels of cerebral activity when people listened to poems
being read aloud."

You actually don't have to read a book of poetry.  All you have to do
is attend a local open mic!

April is National Poetry Month.  So this makes it the perfect month to
start a new exercise routine.
