Poetry is something that awakens a sleeping person from inside. Our national poet Dr. Allama Iqbal through his poetry, he awakened the entire nation and made them realize how valuable they are. Whenever I was taught poetry in school or college, I was not so interested in poetry, but with the passage of time I started to understand the poetry as I listened to the songs, there was poetry in them, I heard the ghazals and they had all of poetry. Poetry is only for those who have taste, there is no poetry for those who have no taste in it.

That is amazing that Dr. Allama Iqbal was able to do this with his writing! Poetry is really like a piece of abstract art, different people take away different things from each poem, that's been my experience anyway. You're right though, you must be open to the pieces before they have an effect on you.
