  • We should have Anti-Modern Poetry Month. Modern poetry is not art. It is garbage. It is nothing more than prose pieces chopped up and read with pauses. "It has no reason; it has no rhyme; it has no structure; just wastes your time. Depressing and pathetic and I don't know why. Goes in one ear, comes out the other side." (C) 2012 by Frank M. Giallombardo, also called 12-String Frank on youtube.

  • Very amusing - I agree a bit - to have a "week of something" is problematic - but I think people who promote these things do indeed do it for the best of reasons.
