I fucking hate poetry.
I love reading it
Because it’s a beautiful illustration of one’s thoughts,
But sometimes it’s not
And a lot of people would still love it.
It doesn’t make any sense.
It’s like painting.
People would be ready to spend a fortune on the Mona Lisa
People would also be ready to spend a fortune on Andy Warhol’s semen on a canvas
But they would only spend pennies for paintings by a street vendor.
There are no rules.
It doesn’t make any sense.
Can you even fucking swear in a fucking poem?
Does repeating certain words over
And over
And over
And over again
Make a poem better?
What’s
the
best
way
to
split
lines?
all lowercase?
ALL UPPERCASE?
Or sentence case?
If you don’t have rhyming words,
Does it make your poem look absurd?
Are alliterations actually artistically advantageous?
Is it okay to say,
“I like to break the hearts of pretty boys.”
Or,
“I want friends only for attention”
Or,
“I don’t want to talk to people so they don’t have to deal with my toxicity”
Or is that too ugly?
Is it okay to say,
“I just want to fucking die.”
Is it okay to say,
“I fucking hate poetry.”
Because I do.
I fucking hate poetry.
