Let's face it. When you see someone reading poetry (for fun), you immediately think that he or she is an English major at the local university. Or the person is just deep. And then you think back to the last pages of the latest Nicholas Sparks book you read and decide that it's time you try something new.

Enter Lunch Poems, by Frank O'Hara. O'Hara is quite the famous American poet who has always been known as a little disorganized and has always had a sooner-rather-than-later attitude about his poetry. This book is called "Lunch Poems" because he wrote most of the poems during his "lunch break," or just times when he was hanging out in the streets of NYC.

Inside, the poems confront "his computed misunderstandings of the eternal questions of life, coexistence, and depth, while never forgetting to eat lunch, his favorite meal," according to Amazon where you can pick up a copy.

So next time you're feeling a little ambitious and want to be that intriguing person on the park bench with a book of poetry, check this out. The poems are sometimes complicated, but an understanding of the text won't bring enlightenment. However, the word choices and tone of the poems will definitely make you smile and think.
