>Poetry is the original and finest form of literature. The novel is a sloppy degradation and plebianisation of poetic style.

whenever i read a poem, I never wonder "what happens next". It's like staring at a painting in a museum.

That's a good thing, a poem is like a linguistic sculpture. Novels are stupid because they only focus on humans.

I would rather watch a play or an opera than stare at a sculpture.

That is exactly why novels are for women because they focus on humans and human relationships. There is a reason why novels are not considered art and poems are.

Try new poems! Poetry is as tonally and narratively varied as prose or music or painting. Surely you don't dismiss any of those because an introduction lacks a piece that grabs you.

You get no joy from any kind of poetry? It's understandable if you don't like short poems (i.e. Shelley). Are you saying you don't like anything that's written in poem format?
