Let me tell how a poetry reading night went at my uni

>First guy on stage is insecure and his poem sucks, totally forgot what it was about
>Second guys is pretty much the same, he sucked and I forgot what he wrote about
>Third guy is a ragging faggot asian who reads his poem about getting blowjobs
>First girl is pretty, talk, and thin. Her poem is a narcissistic trip about how she is a statue, which is actually pretty decent despite the overdone topic. She leaves with a hispano-black guy
>Second girl is a ragging feminazi lesbo dyke with daddy issues and a terrible haircut (buzzed on one side with the rest left very long). Her poem is about how patriarchy is bad or some shit
>fifth guy is a ragging faggot who talks about how there are pedophiles out there in the world
>A prof reads an ee cummings poem that sucks (and his own sucky poetry)
>Couple of fat balding "poets" come to the stage to do some readings that are "ok"

Overall, bretty bad 1/5.

Why are poets so disgusting nowadays?

Here's your answer. You do better. Try going to a Slam Night and learn from it.

funny that you have a backlog of "terrible" slam poetry to pat yourself on the back for not exploring it any further, yet you have nothing to show for yourself
do you do the same with books? Are you sure you should be here?

PLEASE respond
I'll even give one I enjoy personally

In the story of Patroclus
no one survives, not even Achilles
who was nearly a god.
Patroclus resembled him; they wore
the same armor.

Always in these friendships
one serves the other, one is less than the other:
the hierarchy
is always apparant, though the legends
cannot be trusted--
their source is the survivor,
the one who has been abandoned.

What were the Greek ships on fire
compared to this loss?

In his tent, Achilles
grieved with his whole being
and the gods saw
he was a man already dead, a victim
of the part that loved,
the part that was mortal.
