poetilla

A ragtag army of self-styled poets afloat on second-hand kayaks, canoes and sometimes barges.

Hearing the spoken-word stylings of the approaching poetilla, the yachtsman set down his martini shaker and weighed anchor.

secret poets

The secret poet is someone who has discovered their talent for poetry but doesn't have the courage to share his/her works witht he world. These people may only share their writings with their most closest and trustworthy friends

Secrey poets can be anyone. Mostly, they are the ones who are depressed. They usually never to be in the mood they appear to be in. And, they never follow the crowd.

Crappy Poetry

Crappy Poetry can take on many forms; it is a morphologic organism that evolves alarmingly quick. The art form itself is widely debated and misunderstood; however, it is largely accepted that Crappy Poetry is either a satirical poem making fun of poems or just a poem that is written very poorly.

The leading authority on Crappy Poetry is The Crappy Poets Society. The majority of members have the opinion that poems which rhyme and make sense are less crappy then poems which do not rhyme and are random in nature.

Crappy Poetry is designed to be humorous and the authors goal is to make their audience laugh.

Joe: Here is my submission to the crappy poetry contest:

'That’s What She Said' by Joe W.
I want to ride,
But it’s so long.
My needs can’t wait.
I hate it in the back.
It hurts so bad; I want to scream!
It drives me wild.
I’m going to suck it up.
I don’t know how much longer I can last though…
I’m going to burst!
I’m so excited, but I know the ride won’t last long.
Ew, it’s all wet and it kind of smells.
How many people have ridden it before?
These are the thoughts I think as I wait in line.

Audience Member: wow, joe, that was some crappy poetry.

poetry

1. An archaic form of literature, now dying off. Doggerel.

As practiced in modern times, poetry is a discredited means of (supposedly) communicating aesthetic thoughts or feelings in verbal form. Thousands, perhaps millions of person-hours, disc/server space, and trees are wasted to develop and store this tripe.

"Award winning" poetry is usually the worst kind, representing the vilest outcome of combining incestuous art-cronyism with self-indulgent self-promotion.

2. A complete waste of time.

1. Bob is nearly finished with his english degree, but he still needs a credit in poetry of the twentieth century.

2.
Small trees that shine
out of watery depths
With broken limbs, like
Becky are
Not why I write.

poetry

Poetry is basically "playing" with language. There are many ways to use poetry. Speak your emotions, teach something, etc.

poetry

A form of literature. There is no sharp distinction between poetry and prose, but poetry is generally thought of as placing more emphasis on sound and rhythm. It is also generally more acceptable to defy conventional rules of grammar in poetry than in prose.

Poems can be written in many standard forms such as iambic pentameter or haiku. Poems can also be written without adhering to any standard form. This is called free verse.

Good hip-hop is some of the livest poetry around today.
