I Hate Poetry.
I hate poetry.
Rhymes, metaphors, patterns and all.
If I had my way, I would read no more.
Why waste my time?
I hate the way poetry is supposed to sound.
Extra posh or overly colloquial,
separated into verses with weird punctuation.
Nobody talks like that!
I hate how poetry is stereotyped.
Commonplace says it’s a form of expression
but only if it expresses anger or despondence.
Only if it defends some social justice or fault in humanity.
I hate poetry, but I keep writing it.
Short, sweet, to the point.
The beauty of the words without the length of the paragraph.
It’s not poetry itself that I hate, but rather the idea of poetry.
