George Bush talking about abortion on TV Giving the responsibility to the state Poor sixteen year old Suzie crying Impregnated by her last date How can we live in a world of such impurities Only concern is our own self security You say I'm a poet I'm expressing my feelings Sick and tired of being called the son of Dan Fielding

Every once in a while I'll see a poem someone shares on social media that I think is contemporary (I've never been much into poetry so it could be old and I've just never seen it). I think it's always been free-form type with weird spacing and not rhyming which is like, cool and all but I feel like the rhyming and structure was what made poetry interesting and seem like it takes talent. Like here's some contemporary poetry off a quick GoogleTOMMY PICO posted:“I thot falling in love was a burden A kind of / crowding on my landscape Love creates space, dummy Doesn’t / take it up I think a lot of it also has to do with the fact that when poetry was popular written word was the main way people entertained themselves and was pretty much the only way to distribute words. Ever since recorded music got super easy to distribute I think poetry died. Sure, people could listen to poetry but music is more fun for most people, more easily accessible. Reading music is pretty hard so back in the day it was easier to just write the rhyming stuff as poetry. I dunno but I think it's a combination of these things that's made poetry unpopular nowadays. It seems like there is the potential for it to come back though. All you have to do is get people to share it online.

Ya I think poetry as a medium is now just forever associated to me with overwrought teenagers and Livejournal. But I dunno, what else do rich people do? They have infinite money, they literally don’t have to worry about anything except living a good life and it feels like that was atleast the social contract when landlords and poo poo were still around. Like alright, we won’t burn your estate down if you keep writing Frankenstein or Les Miserables. But now all we get is endless marvel movies and Linked in posts

Also, a lot of contemporary poets seem averse to using any punctuation whatsoever, which I also don't get.

I think it makes it boring and just.. I don't know how to describe it, unsettling? to listen to/read. Like it feels out of sync. Maybe it has to do with me being pretty musical/rhythmic in general. Maybe if I heard the original authors reading their poetry I would like it more. But I feel like successful poetry should be able to be enjoyed just reading it yourself. I dunno I ain't know poo poo about gently caress when it comes to poetry, maybe some poetry enjoying goon will come along and enlighten me.

I mostly only read old longform poetry, like historical national epics etc. Quite a lot of that is just literal translation and a hard slog, they don't even bother with attempting meter. Some is well done though, rewriting done by actual poets adjusting things slightly to fit the original rhyme scheme. I find it works better read out loud, or at least read silently to yourself as though it was out loud. That way you normally find a rhythm that makes sense and it becomes a lot easier to follow the content. Much slower to read though. Never really got into shorter form stuff. I think that a lot of it is more fun to write than read.

Chinatown posted:the smartphone exists now OP  Traveling up until the 1960s or so was a monstrously huge pain in the rear end / somewhat dangerous. Plus there was no internet. Nowadays rich intellectuals can be chauffeured easily and quickly anywhere on the planet, and basically have the sum of human knowledge at their fingertips. I don't think anyone could generate enough friction in that life to create meaningful content.

Good verse has a rhythm to it, it's not just prose cut up with arbitrary line breaks. Like this is a pretty good poem imo by a guy mostly known for his prose: Woke up early this morning and from my bed looked far across the straight to see a small boat moving through the choppy water, a single running light on. Remembered my friend who used to shout his dead wife’s name from hilltops around Perugia. Who set a plate for her at his simple table long after she was gone. And opened the windows so she could have fresh air. Such display I found embarrassing. So did his other friends. I couldn’t see it. Not until this morning.

being Rich used to mean putting on a tux and hanging out in your “sitting room” and burning an extra candle or two so you can pen words onto paper even after it is dark outside (no one else was literate) being Rich meant you could eat meat almost every day or put an extra log on the fire in the winter, or you owned more than two suits of clothing and could wash one in between wearing owning a horse was still a pretty big deal even when that was the only form of transportation everyone else on earth was out threshing wheat or shoveling hog poo poo or digging wells for village children to fall into

because bad things used to happen to rich people. nowadays modern medicine keeps those incestual traits not as deadly and wives can be imported for cheap. less reason to mope around your mansion feeling melancholy when there's a model from ukraine bouncing on your crooked dick thanks to implants and pills and plane tickets.

How much poetry do we really even need, OP? There must already be a million existing poems for any given situation, they've been written for like 6,000 years! Rich people are smart enough to know that we're done and we don't need to clutter our countrysides with unnecessary poetry.

Asterite34 posted:Man, rich people used to at least patronize the arts, commission paintings and sculptures and poo poo. And it's not like rich people were nicer in Renaissance Italy, it was the Medicis and Borgias and other fuckers who were constantly poisoning each other and throwing orgies in the Vatican. But back then they sponsored the likes of Michelangelo and Raphael and other Ninja Turtles. Nowadays they throw their fortunes at Ben loving Shapiro to make whiny-voiced internet videos. I mean the Sacklers were giving money to the arts but people got mad about that for some reason

My old housemate was *very* into poetry. He read out one of his poems at once stage, started wringing his wrists (literally, like who does that?) and said he felt it was too pretentious and not sincere enough. Apparently "yeah, it is way too pretentious" is the wrong answer cause he got huffy and told me he's been published in local zines.
