There's enough poetry on this forum. It's a fact, I'm not complaining about it. Nice to see that people aren't afraid to write it, considering what some people think of writing poetry. The thing is that the famous poets were mostly drunk womanisers (and that applies to some of the women poets too).
When you first come across poetry it's usually at school, where you write limericks, then later learn about different types of poem. Once you have progressed far enough, you begin to learn about the poets behind the poems, including Lear and his wonderful gift of the limerick, why they wrote them and then eventually start disecting poems to find out what they mean. Now, this is the bit that puts a lot of people off.
So, why do it? Well, it helps to understand the thinking behind the poem and unlock the hidden meanings. This can, of course, depend on the teacher and their own thoughts about the poem. What I would say is, unless there is a realistic amount of evidence (and I don’t mean speculation) don’t take these meanings as facts. A poem can be as personal as you want and who knows what was going on in those poet’s minds, especially the drunk ones.
Don’t let any of this put you off though, poetry is a great way of letting out your feelings, and you can disguise this as much as you want or let it all out. Just try it.

A good poem can be amasing... although you only come across a few of those on the other hand some poems are dreaful. Last year we had this Irish poet to study... all he wrote about was living on a bloody farm and we had to analysis and say what he really meant... shut up you fool.
Good poems come naturally and it takes a certain person (like Grix) to write them.
Long poems are sh.t so there

Stories tell a tale, poetry asks you to think to understand the tale. That's why I like it... it doesn't give you fact after fact, it gives you things to think about. Song lyrics are the same, fantastic stuff.
I prefer writing stories, but I use poetry as a little emotion tap thing.

God I hate poetry.
Stories rock though. With poetry you sit there and think of stuff that rhymes. Whereas with stories you can express yourself, and have freaky mind games.
And pirates.

I ususally skip the poetry, having been on poetry-overload for A-Levels in the last two years. Despite my ability when it comes to writing (if I don't say so myself :D), I have never had the talent required to write poetry myself, due to lack of inspiration etc.
Despite that, I often read some of the stuff on this forum, and have been really impressed with sme of the stuff some forum members have to offer. I'm not sure whether their poetry is borne out of good feelings or resentment at someone/thing, but the quality, in some poems, is evident.
