Poets & Poetry

I suspect that all real writers have only contempt for poets and poetry .There is nothing of value to be gained by the attempt to be profound, the attempt to inspire with meter and rhyme and staid, pretentious constrictions on your words. There is no advantage and no substance to poetry, but it's short enough to be accessible, short enough that every asshole on the street thinks they can churn something out.
