Most
teenagers like to write poetry instead of read poetry. I have piles of angsty
rhymes and I bet all of my readers do too. The weird thing is that I now enjoy
reading poetry more than writing it. I’ve noticed that a lot of my peers at
college are going through that same change.
I
seriously think Pablo Neruda never came of age. If I read his poetry, I always
roll my eyes because it seems as angsty and idealistic as the average teenager’s
poetry. He just happens to be good at rhyme and meter.
A
lot of people pretend to know a lot about poetry, but they’re lying. If you
meet one of these people, they usually say that their favorite poet is Robert
Frost.
Shall
I compare thee to a summer’s day? If you’re a desperate guy, you should always
read your girl this poem because come on, eternal life through writing is like…the
best present a girl could get! Better yet, write your own sonnet! Iambic
pentameter is so sexy and it is totally not cheesy.
