Poetry and the Masses

[Truerenigma]

Anyone who thinks writing worse poetry is going to make it more successful as an art is delusional. There is plenty of that around. There is far more bad poetry than good. So the more proficient poets should lower their standards and just blend in? I think not. We need more, better, original poetry. There is no shortage of bad poetry. I'm not sure if anyone actually reads it though...for example; when someone gives you a hallmark card, how many times do you read the poem? Once.
