I consider poetry to be an abominable use of the written word.

Actually, poetry came before prose. And it was used to convey meaning.

I think this is bait.

B- But the Professors I pay tens of thousands of dollars a year told me I'm supposed to like poetry. You have to be wrong because I have too much stake in their being right.

>great writing is the writing that becomes invisible

Agreed. And poetry, as I'm sure u know, is where this is achieved, if it ever is achieved. My guess is that youre purposefully aping Plato qua fascist for reasons of your own. This is a /pol/ thread cleverly disguised as a /lit/ one.

This post really outs you as someone with no understanding of poetry, writing, or Plato.

You need more than that to constitute a criticism.

>>9397758
>false equivalencies
He's right. There is no need in this world fag men who convey liberal meanings of "art".

I know this is bait but: are you against all art or just language presented in an artful fashion (which, is more than just poetry, but that seems to be your argument)

Well, there exists no authority to determine this as an axiom and there never will be. So who cares what you think, faggot?

Instantly discarded. I hate brainlets like this. A lot of them skulk around this board and pretend to be an authority.

Shakespeare is proof you are wrong.

Well mate tbqfh I never really enjoyed poetry, besides a select few authors. It's meant to be like that I guess, poetry is not very accesible.

>>9402106
>poetry is not very accesible.
No it just seems that way since they took it out of the curriculum and no one reads poetry on their own anymore.

>>9402106
Or maybe you're just lazy

Wow, that's the dumbest fucking piece of shit I've seen written in days, and I regularly browse this hellhole. Also virtually every writer who ever lived would tell you you're a moron. So all in all, 7/10 bait.
