>poetry is deep
poetry is the most shallow fluff art in existence. every single one revolves around a cliche: "i am sad" or "i hate thing" or "christian acceptance" or "winter is pretty"
the only deep part is the extremely complicated and complex nuance in the poem, but even that is better described as "difficult" and not "deep"

He's greatly exaggerating, obviously, but most people who haven't a clue about poetry pretend it is always deep and complex due to the nature of it being poetry, whereas a lot of poems can be quite simple (not that this is a bad thing).

Granted. Seems to me thw consensus on poetry is that its difficult and boring.
My experience has been that rather than thinking its deep or complex, people just dislike it and say its pretentious.

He's right though. Show me a poem with a "deep" meaning, they dont exist.

I'm prepared to give you examples, but first I would like some sort of definition of "deep" for you. What would you consider deep?
>>
>>8713750
How 'bout one that proposes a new, historically unique philosophy that cant be summed up in one sentence.
If that exists it would be pretty deep, regardless of how accurate it is today.
