If a poet doesn't write in poetic meter, where is the skill

You'll come around.

The term "irregular meter" was created to keep discontented, transitionists like you happy. Look at a poem for what it is, not what it isn't.

Bukowski is basically Rupi Kaur but slightly more authentic.

Then he writes in prose. There's no such thing as "free verse", only free prose.

Poetry derives its aesthetic from structure; post-structuralist poetry is inherently unable to attain any kind of aesthetic form. That so much memetic value has been placed on post-structuralism is tantamount to nihilism.

If you were not a pleb and read poetry following it's respective movements in chronological order and understanding the context of each one until you get to baudelaire and then rimbaud you would understand

>durr contemporary poetry is good because it stands on the back of titans and doesn't need to be judged on its own merits

>>9506272
>where is the skill in their poetry
>if a song doesn't have a wicked shredding guitar solo that lasts for minutes then where's the skill?

>>9506534
Are you legitimately stupid or just pretending to be stupid for the sake of the argument?

>>9506534
You don't understand it's own merits because you don't understand where is contemporary poetry coming from
>contemporary poetry is good because it stands on the back of titans
