Well, shit, you can find poetry on the Internet. You can read those poet/critic magazines. Some of them are online. You just have to look for it. There are plenty of old and new resources for poetry on the Internet. Videos of poetry readings and book talks and lectures and discussions. There is poetry online. It's just that you have to type it in. People aren't going to point you in the direction because they're not interested. If you're, it's there.
You have to look for stuff. Type in whatever you want to hear, and try it out. Poetry is mainstream but people just don't always consider it. It's everywhere. A lotif not all of songs and tv shows and movies have poetry seeping through them, were inspired by poems, they just don't say it. Poetry is like an unspoken backbone of most every culture. And the reason why people don't focus on it is because it is not as easy and spoonfed of a medium as most else things. To read poetry, you have to put something into it. And that can be exhausting.
And I'm no expert. The only reason I'm not exhausted is because I'm restless.
Another thing about poetry is there's no practical application for it. You don't have to live up to anything. Poetry writing is unpredictable. You can write a decent poem then talk like a moron ten minutes later. There's a reason why it's not whatever we were talking about.
