Creepypasta Wiki talk:Writing Advice/What is Poetry? (Or, Probably Why Your Poem Was Deleted)/@comment-24077689-20140214184024/@comment-10950063-20140214184513

Pretty much every one of the Beats were douche bags.

I used to write poetry, too. The more I learned about poetry, the more I respected it and the less I wanted to write it. If I can't do something the way it should be done, I don't want to do it.

It really bothers me how little respect people have for poetry. I don't mean not liking it. That's fine. I mean thinking they can do any old bullshit and call it poetry.
