Blue Collar Poetry

The phrase refers to the inter-song banter of the lead singer of a band where he or she panders to the working class folk with lines such as:

"Who here has been beaten down by life and wants to throw it all away!"
"Fuck it all, lets get hammered!"
"That son of a bitch boss is gonna be pissed in the morning!"
"Trucks. AMIRIGHT?"
"Life is a cruel lie!"

Did you see Drunken Toddler last night? The lead singer's blue collar poetry was on point!

wax poetic

To expound on something in prose like language. Wax as in the "waxing moon" means to increase, *not* originally a reference to vinyl.

She was prone to wax poetic about her childhood as a vagabond in Mexico, explaining in prose like detail how she and her mother lived out of their rusted old Chevy pickup truck.

poetic justice

Poetic justice is a literary device in which virtue is ultimately rewarded or vice punished, often in modern literature by an ironic twist of fate intimately related to the character's own conduct.

Poetic justice is referred to in "The Simpsons" episode "Boy Scoutz N the Hood." When Bart returns home from a Junior Campers meeting Homer asks "How was jerk practice boy? Did they teach you how to sing to trees and build crappy furniture out of useless wooden logs?" The chair that Homer is sitting on then breaks and he declares "D'oh! Stupid poetic justice."

tragic poet

a tragic poet is poet who writes about tragadies. Normally in the classical sense, as reffered to in Plato's Republic.

A Tragic Poet, would be someone who would take a situation to a exagerated level while taking on a stance such as pain, angst or sadness.
This exageration, is to the point of absurdism.
The absurdism may not be known to the individual, and in this case it is correct to call an individual a Tragic Poet. (Simulacrum of tragic form).

On the other hand we may have pretencious individuals who use satire, of forms that may be viewed as Tragic, but in fact are not.
They are not not to be called Tragic Poet's for it would not be correct, as they are fully aware of the absurdity of there actions normally in reference to the written form.

Except for the individual who wrote this definition.
He is The Tragic Poet, as in the article "the" giving him the title, of being a Tragic Poet, but fully aware of the absurdism involved.

All emo kids are Tragic Poet's.

(the fact that it is creating a fallacy makes the sentence follow in true tragic poet form)

guerrilla poetry

Poetry readings and recitals done, usually of only one or two poems and by a small group or solo poet, in a public place previously unprepared for the "attack". Originally defined by poets William F. DeVault (the Amomancer) and Daniel S. McTaggart and framed in McTaggart's poem "Guerrilla Poetry".

Two young women walk into a Starbucks, one distracts the barrista while the other whips out a book, chants the words of "Ozymandias of Egypt" in her guerrilla poetry attack on the crowd and then they are both gone into the morning chaos.
