oh fuck off, you're not a poet

stop writing in short sentences
like this
like it's more honest
like there is no
need
for a rhyme
as if you've got
some secret
that noone knows
because you're abrupt
and/
or
blunt


it's not edgy
it's not modern
it's not trendy
it's bullshit

stop
it
stop it
stop please

poetry is not a fad
it breathes
on its own
not like your fucking
hand pressing on keys
as if
you're the warhol of
writing

draw a red stripe
on a blue convas
and call it a day,
why don't you?

End of rant.

p.s. this posting is really my way of expressing my frustration at the modern poetic trend happening with fellow young people.. apparently writing is a cool thing noways, and since many lack the real talent and imagination to create worthy poetry, they have decided that writing in brief abrupt lines makes them and their work unique. it does not. it hurts my fucking eyes, and my fucking ears. it is abunch of pretentious crap, so please spare us all and stick to your shopping and LSD trips.

p.s.s i don't mean to hate on anyones creative outlets, and of course, who says i'm any better.. but fuck ... i hate this crap.
