RE: Bad poetry online and what we can do about it
I will acknowledge what you say about cliches & the emotion behind it, to a point. But I would argue that even if it's relatable, it doesn't automatically qualify it as good.
Thank you for clarifying your position on the topic. "...it's valuable to the person, doesn't mean it's valuable art" — I can get behind that belief.
If you have the time, would you mind explaining what you like or admire so much about that E.E. Cummings poem you shared? It's not a favorite of mine, and I didn't personally get anything out of it. But I would like to know what makes it special to someone else. Maybe then I could understand more about what you personally value in poetry.
