Why does /lit/ never recommend poetry?

>>9353150
>lit is mostly monolingual
>uncultured plebs
>poetry is shit in translation

It's shit for fags.

Also /lit/ never stops cumming over Rimbaud, Neruda and Leopardi.

>>9353154
>poetry is shit in translation
/lit/ never heard of Oscar Wild, Shakespeare, Byron, Whitman, Poe...

poetry was a big thing in Greece, about four thousand years ago. it's declined since then.

there is not a single professional poet on the planet who doesn't sustain themself through other work, although they will proudly proclaim "i'm a poet", even if not asked.

Horatius at the Bridge and the Ballad of Reading Gaol are my favorite. Never been a lover of poetry although I do find poets like Frost and Whitman "pop" poems to be enjoyable.

Poetry remained a pretty big fucking deal until the Second World War. You look like you don't know what you're talking about, don't like the modern poetry and have to proclaim your dislike of it, even if not asked.

rap is poetry you retard

>>9355351
>rap
tfw most people on /lit/ hate rap, even though there are plenty of rappers that are better at writing than they will ever be

>>9353631
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but aren't the French mainly known for their poetry(as opposed to say Germans with their philosophy)?

>>9355351
rhyming poetry is dead and only used by plebes.

>>9355418
Non rhyming poetry is just prose with stupid formatting.

Her mama done walked in, but it's too big
She can't hide the motherfucker
Even if she the baddest of motherfuker
Man even if she minus the motherfucker
Join in get the mileage motherfucker
I ain't gon' disguise it motherfucker
Shop at Saks Fifth, flow on datpiff
Yeah I'm that swift, ask her and him
Yeah add somethin', put a bone in them
Put a choker on, let 'em choke on em
All my jewelry small, yeah, they got it on
Daughter sexy and my son got the bra
Spit racks on my son and his squad
That a boy, never play with tards
-Young Thug

Never say rhyming poetry is dead

whoa... homer btfo

>Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, Beowulf and Gilgamesh are just prose with stupid formatting

I take a very hipster approach to poetry. I enjoy it and read quite a bit, but refuse to share any of it because I found it. It's mine. I'm not letting people ruin it for me like they've done with so many other things.

>>9355652
shakespeare rhymes sometimes, and it really adds to the overall effect.

>>9355411
Descartes, Sartre and Bergson would like to be considered relevant.

>>9355652
Shakespeare rhymed.

But the rest, yeah.

>>9355673
I have some really rare poetry that you'd probably like, anon. I hoard it, though. It's mine. You'll never see it, but know that you're really missing out.

>>9355818
Likewise.

>>9355781
At least 90% of his dramatic texts are in blank verse.

>>9355945
Drama is not poetry.

/tv/ or /v/, my friend

Drama in verse is poetry

I assume you've never read any of Wilde's works in Spanish. A translation of a poem is never as good as the poem in the original language.

This is the level of /lit/. Disgusting.
