Types Of People On Wattpad

THE POET

Smoke fills the room
I close my weary eyes
And wonder why on earth
People still comment on my closed cover book

If you didn't get that joke it was my poor attempt at a poem, while also bringing up the fact that people still request covers on my closed cover book. Like people can't you see- it is closed! Anyway, this chapter is about 'The Poet', the type of person who fills Wattpad with philosophical and often thought-provoking poetry about cigarette smoke and 'the monsters that walk among us'. I'm not bashing all the poetry on Wattpad, some of it is truly amazing, but some of it is just cliche and cringy.

You'll find The Poet trying to explain half their poems because they are obscure and inaccessible, or defending their work against morons who don't understand art. Then there's the poets who don't understand that poetry isn't a rant about their best friend written in lines and stanzas, but usually has a bit of description in and not the acronym 'lol'.

There is loads of great poetry on Wattpad, but just like every genre there's the really sh*t stuff.
