I love this NB bitch

Based midwit

I used to say the same thing until I read some analysis of shakespeare sonnets and realized that poetry is actually really fun to read if you look at it in the right way. It’s almost like a word puzzle

obviously, poetry was just for the time when reality television wasn't invented yet

People who don't get poetry, without fail, are always fucking retards.

I hate poetry a lot.
I like the poem about the poet who's a bird and being tied down to a boat and his mother resents his existence, it's nice.

Why stop there? Flinging your own feces and screeching like a debased creature is far superior to prose.

>>18308603
Oooh OP really hit a nerve
Are you a Poet?

>>18308617
It’s more that you’re an animal.

Poetry may have had a purpose back before people wrote down their stories and could read on a large scale and thus needed an easy way to memorize a work, in the modern day with mass-literacy and the printing press poetry have become obsolete.

>>18308539
Find a single prose piece that trumps this.

>>18308647
somehow you're more of a fag than poets

>>18308628
at least I don't read poetry

>>18308539
>i wonder who could be behind this post

>>18308539
How highly would you suggest I hold the opinion of a man who uses such artless language?

>>18308903
It's called writing like the common man you dingus.

>>18308958
you mean a common man writing dingus

>>18308652
Posting Pound is cheating because he was also a novelist.

>>18308539
Manga is fucking retarded, photography is superior.

>>18308652
>no rhymes
>weak rythmical structure

untrue and homosexual

>>18309080
>>18308652
damn, the rhymes are so ugly that I haven't even noticed them.
who rhymes ship with ship?

>>18309038
Don't care, Integra Hellsing is my waifu and the ideal woman.

>>18308539
Prose is just attenuated poetry

>>18308986
>Pound
>Novels
What?

>>18309080
It's free verse, you literal retard.
>No rhymes
A real poet can use assonance and other techniques. Rhyming is for Elizabethans.

>>18309165
>free verse
did you mean prose?

Ok, I was trolling a bit, but rhymes and good rythmical structure just sound better

>>18309165
>Rhyming is for Elizabethans
Funny; Pound thought the greatest English book was an Elizabethan Englishman's translation of Ovid.

>>18308539
Poetry in prose (ie Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris) is peak style.

Should be grounds for a permaban

Weak example. Find a single prose piece that trumps The Tiger, by Nael:

The tiger
He destroyed his cage
Yes
YES
The tiger is out

>>18308647
Poetry’s purpose is augmenting consciousness, specious sophistry about tech determinism will never change that.

>>18308666
That’s precisely why you’re an animal, retard.

>>18310288
No no, you've got it backwards. Reading poetry is worse than being an animal.

Well, now, don't you tell me to SMILE
Stick around Ol' Megs I'll make you RILE
My rage is beyond what you can DIAL
Maybe Ho Helen just ain't worthWHILE
Style, dile, I said
From two places you'll hear, "no CHILD!"
Paris got you cryin like a crocoDILE
I run the cannon, plungin like a FILE

No joke, the music video for that song used to scare the crap out of me as a child.

>>18308652
Boring and contrived.

Rimbaud, Whitman, and Baudelaire destroy pound in terms of prose poetry. Get real and drop pound.

>>18308548
Midwits like poetry

>>18308539
Id love to seduce Sera’s and Schrodinger

>>18310591
Insanely based and poetry pilled.

>>18308539
read the sonnets, they strike like lightning at times.

>>18308652
Certainly is fancy

>>18308539
Okay soulless troon.

>>18308647
>hurr poetry is for lazy people who don't want to do a lot of work!!!
