Formally, French poems can be very codified (a lot of sonnets for example), but the French love their rebels. The subjects of course are endless, spanning from love, passion and grief to social issues and friendship. They start in preschool and elementary school with simple rhymes and poems written for kids, and continue in middle and high school, where they learn more classic and modern French poems as part of their literature courses.
In fact, children learn French poems by heart as part of their school instruction. The French are also avid readers, and they feel very proud of their poetry. Perhaps that’s why you were drawn to it in the first place! The French language has many different vowel sounds (including nasals vowels), which contributes to this sense of flowing musicality. If you’re learning the language you already know French can be very melodious and musical.
