Wayland Patch 3/13/13: Wayland is Reading Poetry … And Here’s Why. Do you dream in iambic pentameter? No? More of a “Roses are red, violets are blue” kind of poetry lover? It’s doesn’t matter. Wayland Reads Poetry this year is still for you. “I guess we are hoping that by choosing poetry, we are getting people who are not habitual poetry readers to take another look at poetry and realize its power, beauty and relevance to everyday life,” said Ann Knight, director of Wayland Public Library.
