Writer's Block: Poetry

[rfb]

i usually don't like these.. but i found this rather interesting..

and i would have to say yes.. i feel poetry is largely lost on people now a days.. not that i feel I'M some crazy deep person or anything.. just a general observation.

while i can't say i've ever been a big... enthusiast.. i do appreciate a good poem when i run into one..

if you still

I enjoy reading poetry. As an English Lit major I once wrote a paper about how poetry isn't read much any more or at least not in the traditional form. I also seem to remember finding out that poetry was never the rock music or the literature world. I believe poetry was never meant for the masses, the way Stephen King or Harry Potter books are. I also know other lit majors who absolutely despise reading poetry

haha.. nope.. just fine tara!

i agree poetry is still out there.. but yeah.. it's really headed underground.. and while there are obviously some good contemporary poets.. i feel that the real lasting power of their work doesn't reach most people
