What's the best way to introduce kids to poetry?

I think we all introduce children to poetry whether we like it or not. We do it through nursery rhymes, and we do it through making up little jingles with their names. When you have a baby, you will sit there saying "do bee do bee do" and making up little poems almost without knowing that's what you're doing. The question is how do we carry on, how do we expand poetry, and I think there are hundreds, if not thousands of books that we could be reading to them. Whether we do or not is another matter, but they're all there waiting to read to them and to perform to them.
