RE: POLL: Do You Like to Write Poetry?

in CCC • 16 days ago

During my student years I became traumatized by poetry, I even came to despise it, because the curriculum insisted on making us study the most boring ones that existed in Spanish.

I also used to find all that stuff about meter and rhyme very convoluted... But then, recently, I discovered poems so good that they seem like a story in verse.

I came to the conclusion that it is romantic poems that boring me.

At one time I wanted to be a writer, but it turns out it's not easy at all. A lot of general knowledge is required, Besides creativity. For now, I think there are too many good works to read instead to trying to write something bad 😞

This BOOMING vote is yours and well deserved!

Thanks a lot for your support 😊

I believe I know that type of poems...
I wouldn't call the ones I dislike or don't understand romantic but written by a boring guy and romanticised by a club of old guys or the state because there was no one else they liked to lift.
I doubt the ones who promoted these read them all themselves.

Hehe, I hadn't thought of that! Since everything in life is political, literature is surely not exempt from its intrigues and machinations.

I remember when Paulo Coelho was all the rage, and I bought one of his books...I've never been so disappointed by an author, and I regretted buying it. But since I paid for it, I had to read it!
