What is it with American women?

Dunno, but some people are that crazy to the point of making fucking poetry, anon. That is why you should always use those.

Poetry

Also, can't say I've ever cared at all if someone calls me by my first name. You've gotta be very insecure if you care what name people use. I bet she's the kinda person who would make it mandatory that everyone include the Esquire in her name if she were an attorney

It is modernist poetry. I also think it is weird af. But everything is a bit bizarre. Modernist music is weird too.

At some point teachers decided to teach kids how to write free verse poety rather than anything with meter because it was easier. I don't think you can blame any poet for stuff like the OP.

I don't see the point of poetry without rythm.

I'm so glad that everyone in this thread hates this style of poetry. When I was at the university, there were enough people who either liked this shit/pretended to like this shit, I thought I was the crazy one.

Its a lot about being bland and mundane but still spunky and independent. Pretty much just cucumber water. Appreciable for the quaint charm though, women love that shit.

tbf, this kind of writing is designed to be consumable to undergraduate wokeites. by their 30s, most those people will have grown out of it

It's the kind of poetry that people who don't actually read poetry like. There are some fantastic contemporary poets out there and they would never write something like the OP. It's just stuff that you'd find posted on instagram/twitter or something for people to consume in a few seconds and upvote

>a male professor told you that titles are silly
I fuckin wish. Every workshop I was in they demanded titles and I hated inventing them

>> No.17263772

>>17263492
To be fair, dropping titles and the authority they come with means that your students will not take you or your class serious anymore (you offer finger, they take whole hand), opening possibility for problems with upper management on one side and students on the other. One can still be a favorite professor while maintaining this basic level of respect.

The poem is still shit, randomly breaking lines is not poetry.

>> No.17263793

>>17263772
What does a lack of title have to do with how seriously a student takes a class? I take a class seriously because I want to do well, not because a prof wants to go by doctor or something

>> No.17263811

>>17263793
That's you. As someone who actually works with students I can tell you around 80% are overgrown children that just want the degree and the benefits it comes with, while classes and studying are just necessary evil, not something they actually want to do.
