Does anyone else think free verse and slam poetry feel really trite and dated these days? Every time I read it/listen to it it all feels the same. Same sort of feel, same sort of rhythms and patterns, same sort of themes. Especially the same sort of themes. It's all really boring. I think it's really ironic that free verse was originally started as some rebellion against regular meter and its sameness, but these days free verse poetry is very boring and it all feels the same from one poet to the next.
