Aug 21, 2018 at 8:44 comment added Oliver Nash Given that this has bubbled up to the front page, I'll use it as an excuse to mention my favourite definition of the Poisson bracket: $\{f,g\} = d^*(fdg)$. Here $d^* = (-1)^{k}\star d\star : \Omega^{k+1} \to \Omega^k$ is the "formal adjoint" of the exterior derivative wrt the symplectic star operator: $\star : \wedge^k \simeq \wedge^{2n-k}$, defined analogously to its better known cousin in metric geometric, the Hodge star.
