Poetry

"Poetry is basically anything that calls itself a poem" is what my view of poetry is. I think that you could just write a description of anything, use some fancy language, and call it a poem. I hate the fact that poetry can be about anything. I also think poetry is all about identity. If someone is a well known poet, they could write some scribbles on a sheet of paper and it would be considered a masterpiece. They could write a description of a piece of grass, and while it may be the most boring thing in the world, it would be studied at every school and be inducted into the poetry hall of fame. I don't understand why some of the poetry I have gone over in past English classes ate so famous. Most aren't interesting, most don't make since, and most of them are completely ridiculous. I also dislike all of the different types of poetry. If poetry was all rhyme, I might have liked it, but unfortunately it's not. It feels like there are a hundred different types of poetry, and you can't use rhyme in any of them.
