i love alot of poetry. but on the other hand i see where you are coming from. there is alot of poetry that is just crap. but the poetry i really hate most is the totally pointless crap. i write poetry based on emotion and i think it comes out best that way. some people write poetry on banannas. well, i don't know for sure, but people write poetry on stupid crap like that. they need to learn how to put emotion behind their poetry.

Yes; it sucks so much that I continue to write poetry.
 I love poetry and I will never stop writing my emotions down on paper. It makes me feel good writing how I am feeling. Good or bad...

QUOTE(strice @ May 24 2004, 12:51 AM) 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. i agree with you. the past ten years, i hated poetry. why? because all i ever read was crap. but nowadays, every once in a while, i read one and im all like.. hmm that actually wasnt too bad. so i dunno. i like song lyrics better anyway. |

Of course there will be bad poems out there, but hey hey hey, it depends on how people look at them. There are some really strange poems that I've read in a literature book for my english class, but my teachers like it beucase there's those "hidden meanings." It just depends on what you read and how you perception of them is...

Poetry, is not only words written and placed down on mere paper. It is words formed by thoughts and emotions, whether it be sadness, anger, hatred, joy, confusion, struggles, or realization, poetry is how a person can express their true selves, and allowing others to know about how their mind works; what things go through their head..
Poetry doesn't have to rhyme, it doesn't have to have a certain amount of syllables, it doesn't need puncuation, or propper grammar; just like a person. People don't have to always abide by the rules, be what others expect, people can live life the way they want, despite if there are consequences, good or bad. Poetry has many purposes, to share an individual's joy, to tell a story of despair, to silently cry out for help, or help another, it doesn't matter, poetry is flexible and can be in any shape, size, or form. Like a person. To me, poetry is something that tells others about a part of that person's life. Or life itelf, and what life holds. I'm sorry if I'm boring you guys, but I just really love poetry! LoL. Weird to be seeinga all of this come from a young fourteen year old girl.  Poetry rocks! <---In simpler terms. LoL.

I could still say I don't know very poetry very well, but I respect it. I love how it's formulated so beautifully, a way to give emotions. I personally cannot write poetry very well, but I don't think it sucks. Everything I'm not especially fond of...there are always a handpicked few that I love. Perhaps I just think too hard when I'm with poems. I don't flow and freely when I'm writing excerpts or stories.
