rowens,
Yes, I'm afraid people's disinterest in poetry has to do with the pragmatic world we're living in that I was getting at in my previous post. Usually I feel like the answers to your questions rowens aren't so matter-of-fact, but I can't help but be blunt here: "Then there's the question of showing something you wrote to someone. Why would anybody do such a thing?" Well, to answer that, if that artist has separated their self enough from their art, what's the issue? You're already showing poetry on here, this site. I mean if it's something personal, I can understand. But what you seem to be talking about in your question is showing something you *artistically* created to someone? Not something personal? Or you were being sarcastic?
And I'm sorry to hear about people being so dismissive towards what you have to say. I always find what you have to say on here very interesting and I'm always excited to hear your takes. Maybe it has something to do with our political climate in the US these days (if you live in the US), but that's another thread for another time.
