I have a particular distaste for poems. generally, i feel poetry is contrived and formulaic. of course there are brilliant ones, but too many crappy ones flood the literary world.
anyone? |

I love poetry. Eh there are some that need a little work - mine included - but everyone learns from their mistakes, later to produce beautiful poetry.

I like poetry, it just depends what kind you read. If you read poetry about a particulary thing you enjoy, it's really cool. It's like reading a book, let's say you read a book about romance, but you really enjoy adventurous things, you're not gonna say, 'books all suck'. So yeah, it's hard to place poetry as a thing to say, 'poetry sucks' because if you like music, then you like poetry.

Maddox is god.
Moving on, poetry is alright when some contrived person trying to write a "deep" poem doesn't attempt it. I write poems when me feels like it. No meter, no beats, and most importently; no rhyming. Poems need to flow, ya know? |

i think poetry ROCKS!
when you write your own, you can express your feelings inside through a pen and a piece paper. itz really cool. i don use any other way to express myself. i love to write poetry. i have lots crappy ones. but i love it. when you read others, itz great to feel wht they are feeling.[good or bad]. when you can relate to the author.. thatz the greatest thing. and when your poem flows AND rhymes., thatz really cool. although im not a big fan of rhyming.. cuz mad pplz tri too hard.. and their stuff came out... making no sense. so i prefer let the poem flow. and express your tru feelings.

I hate writing poetry, only do it when I'm under the gun. I don't read poetry either for that matter, don't really care for it, but I don't dislike it either. Lots of good poems out there. Though some are a lot worse than others. One that I find funny goes:
You fit into me, Like a hook in an eye, A fish hook, and open eye. HAHA, I just voted YES in the poll, oops, not what I meant. Oh well. |

Well everyone has different tastes so yah.
To some people(if not all), writing poetry is an outlet for emotions. No matter how bad, how messy, how good or how touching one is, I think it should be respected. After all, reading a poem done by heart is like reading what is inside a person's heart. Shouldn't you feel privileged? I personally think poetry doesnt "suck". Just as much as other things I dislike don't suck. *shrugs* I write poems, and when I do, it's like putting me or my feelings into words. So I know that a poem is a work of art, and it should really be valued by readers. Sorry if that seemed cheesy.
