I'd rather read the worst novel ever written, than read the best poetry book penned.

I'd rather have sex with the ugliest girl in the world than be a 28 jobless virgin.

To you, Sunhawk, who would explore
The literary Chankley Bore,
The paths are hard, for you are not
A literary Hottentot
But just a kind and cultured dame
Who knows not Eliot (to her shame).
Fie on you, Hawk, that you should see
No genius in David G.,
No elemental form and sound
In T.S.E. and Ezra Pound.
Fie on you, Hawk! I'll show you how
To elevate your middle brow,
And how to scale and see the sights
From modernist Parnassian heights.

SInce when the hell does /lit/ like poetry?

Perhaps they decided to like it in response to me not liking it.

I've had discussions about it here many times. It's less popular than novels of course, but there's not much anti-poetry sentiment as far as I can tell.

Do not forget that 'limpet' rhymes
With 'strumpet' in these troubled times,
And commas are the worst of crimes;
Few understand the works of Cummings,
And few James Joyce's mental slummings,
And few young Auden's coded chatter;
But then it is the few that matter.
Never be lucid, never state,
If you would be regarded great,
The simplest thought or sentiment,
(For thought, we know, is decadent);
Never omit such vital words
As belly, genitals and -----
