We know that crossword puzzles and games such as chess and bridge boost brain power. But there’s another, often overlooked, mind-builder—reading poetry. You can find poems that have special meaning for you…memorize a few favorite lines…ponder a complex poem’s meaning…or simply let the words transport you to another place or time. Poems come in all lengths and degrees of complexity. Chances are you’ll be able to find one that suits your time frame and mood on any given day. There are dozens of poetry Web sites. One to try: Academy of American Poets (www.Poets.org)
