i will always remain salty that people brush off poetry so easily and say they don't "get" it like hello do you not "get" books??? you don't "get" an entire fucking medium??? try!!! find something within poetry that is not what you believe poetry to be!!! free verse is not limerick is not haiku is not sonnet!!! i'm sorry the education system failed you by making you think all poetry is written by crusty old boring white people but i promise you there's more out there!!!! there's interactive poetry there's visual poetry there's digital poetry there's SWATHES of infinite ways that people write poetry about an experience that i promise you you have had
