Why I rant about poetry

I have posted one or two screeds in the past few weeks about poetry that I read online. By way of explanation, I will do something I have so far (to the best of my knowledge) refrained from doing. I recommend reading this blog: Ephemeral Elegies. Tiffany Renee Harmon re-publishes the poets who are being published online and in physical print. At least 80% of it is good (my opinion only), and all of it is better than anything I can write. The times I’ve written this and this, I’ve been speaking to poems read on her blog. This is what decent, modern poetry looks and reads like. This is the standard to which I hold myself and everyone I read.

  1. At this date, I would disagree with “all of it is better than anything I can write.” I’ve seen a couple which I could write. I’ve achieved the lowest rung of the ladder.
