Andrey's questions about poems (split from the intro thread)

[AndreyGaganov]

Poems aren't filled with questions, they inspire questions. At least, the good ones do. They make the reader reevaluate the world.

I'll keep that in mind. So, the poet can only lead without knowing what's at the end of the tunnel.  

And of course there are hybrid poems. Or rather, poetry is like all art, in that it continually fluxes in response to society. Do you think we've all just been sitting back writing the same stuff Homer wrote for the last 10,000 years or so?

Not necessarily precisely 'the same stuff', but maybe in the same form, with the same tone, the same rhyming schemes, the same rhythms, etc.
