What’s wrong with poetry?

[escorial]

Poetry has a poor image and somethink that is only read by intellectuals,students and the middle classes.Most in this catergorey like were poetry is and would rather it stayed exclusive but i reckon so many great poets have come and gone because they were not exposed to the medium.Just like football started as a working class sport and now it's a middle class game maybie the same could be done with poetry.
