My impression of poetry is that it's something more avantgard (did I spell that right?) which means that most poets look try to manipulate the language and form (like ee cummings). From what little poetry I've seen from 'aspiring' poets, I noticed it was much more intensely worded and raw than this believe or not. Not to say the subject matter is bland, it's just I heard poems where a person compared, in rather cringe-inducing graphic detail, how breaking up with someone was similar to dental surgery.
