I am not a writer per say but when I was still working part of my job was replying to some correspondence so I had to be up on my grammar and sentence composition. I really detest poor grammar. Nowadays with all the tools on the computer there isn't any excuse. I love to read and read a lot. I too think it helps to keep your brain cells active and slow down the aging process.

I used to enjoy poetry and spent years searching for a poem that our 7th grade teacher had made us memorize. I also enjoy penning a verse or two, and often wrote my nurse's shift notes in verse form to the delight of the other nurses and supervisors. Even our administrator would come to the desk when he arrived to see if I had livened things up.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

My seventh grade teacher was great. She not only read to us at the end of each day and made classics like Treasure Island come alive, but she taught us proper grammar and sentence structure. The poetry was a side line in which we had to memorize a stanza each week of such poems as Little Boy Blue, A Boy and His Stomach, The House with Nobody In It, and God Spilled A Rainbow, to name a few I remember quickly.
On Fridays, we each had to recite that week's stanza in front of the class, and at the end we had to recite the entire poem. Some of us loved it and some of us hated it.
