what do you think about this article? agree?

Poetry is so lame and unrealistic. Over-exaggerated lines that nobody cares about, and if they did, it would still probably bore them. Poetry is much different than song lyrics by the way. 99% of poems I have read are so boring and shallow, I could never seriously write one. Most poems are about flowers and butterflies anyway... I bet emo people love poetry.

"But, there are poems out there that aren't about flowers and butterflies..."

True, but they lack knowledge. Anyone can write a poem, you need the knowledge if you're going to make something intriguing. Poetry is kind of like MTV in a way, you think you're reading/listening to something amazing but in reality, it's crap. When you buy into a poem and think it's great, all you're doing is poisoning your mental-state. Truth is a poems worst enemy. If you disagree with me, take this into consideration: Plato (one of the worlds greatest philosophers) hated poetry. Smart man.
 
Poetry is one of the most expressive and open forms of writing of all time. It's not a novel, it's short, contains many writing clues, and possible hidden stories, and doesn't even have to make sense. It rules.
 
i think that article is 100% correct poetry is nothin but a waste of time i totally agree
 
every one is entitled to an opinion, but get facts straight, GOOD poetry is not something anyone can do, some stuff on here is CRAP, just like rap, and yes most songs ARE free verse poems!
 
Me. Like and write poetry. Smart woman. People liking poetry doesn't make them stupid, so whatever you are trying to pull there failed.

Poetry- Has different genres, and different levels of expressions, different stanzas, some rhyme, some do not, some tell stories, and some tell feelings, all poems are different in length, style and format, there for poetry isn't some stupid ramble on paper that i think you were trying to make it be.

Music is written in the same form and stanzas as poetry in some cases. Songs also have rhyme and rhythm, hence rap. Some music tells stories, or expresses emotions.

Either your still in 4th grade and just choosing to hate something. Or you have nothing better to say or do with your time, but make no sense by bashing something.

Oh and by the way poems are not always unrealistic it depends on the genre of a poem or what the poem is portraying.

So no i cant agree with you. Reading your article made me feel stupider. So excuse me while i read more entertaining and meaningful pieces so i can feel like i didn't just drop my IQ by reading this article.
 
I agree with you about the part about MTV. Whatever happened to the music? The rest of it is just plain sic.
