"Poetry is Dead"

in poetry •  7 years ago 

I really enjoy a good poem. Something deep and meaningful and is somewhat clear in it's meaning. I find most poems now to be super pretentious and pure cringe.

Thank you @bhanzelhoff for your input. It is really important for me to reflect on. I know what you mean by pretentious and cringe... (side note: I haven't seen the word cringe used as a noun. I think it is a recent trend). I've lived overseas for about twenty years and in daily life use Korean more than half the time. My poems come from the heart and daily life. I have no intention to impose anything on anyone. In fact I despise the walls set up as the obstacle to reach the high and mighty ivy towers of empty illusions. I really don't know anything and see poetry as a learning experience for me and the reader.
