Here is a sentence from my last post: You might even say we're in a glass box.

Here is that same sentence as contemporary poetry:

you might even
say

we re
in a glass
box

Contemporary poetry isn't poetry. It's pretentiousness incarnate.

Here is the "poem" we read and analyzed in English class today:

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens

We had to analyze that. Yes, that. Go on, you do it. Read into the author's use of imagery (note the words "red" and "white"). Notice where his lines start. Isn't that just deep?

If there is anybody reading this that would like to say that something above is poetry, that person can go make love to a discontented porcupine that's high on ether.

Contemporary poetry isn't.
