Poetry sucks

[istewart]

And English departments that force students to read it should be done away with. It's gay.

And for an analogy:

Poetry : Literature actually worth reading

Finger paintings by a blind kid with Down Syndrome : Mona Lisa

You're an idiot.

Have you ever watched "Def Poetry Jam" because I'm not a very big fan of poetry, but sometimes there is good poetry on there.

You've come a long way from your posts questioning the "leetness" of the swatstika. Seriously, give up man.

Thank you for remembering me in such a good context. But no, the fact remains that poetry is horrible.

If you're referring to the thing on HBO then yes. I don't really like it, but it's a step above "traditional" poetry, if there is such a thing.

i'm so waiting for a 2+2er to show up and pwn u in a poem

Trees
The bird singing
Radios blaring
The sun
Glistening water shimmering on my baby's back

This right here is the essence of poetry and why it is horrible. Random words strewn together with no punctuation and no relevance to anything important.

you can't be serious. while that poem may, and does perhaps suck, you can't make sweeping generalizations about the art of verse like that. I mean, you can, but you sound retarded. no offense.
