I sometimes wonder about poetry. Some people absolutely love it, but after reading some books, partly or in full, I'm almost completely unimpressed. I think it might just be a giant leg pull? Is it?

I like poetry, but I don't like talking about poetry I like. People are very elitist or weird about it.

Poetry is an excuse to write down every clever metaphor that runs through your head without having to write a whole story around it.
It can be good, and has been good, but I don't make a habit of reading poetry for its own sake. Every poem I've ever read has been part of a school assignment. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yes.
My favourites would be this big book I have of every Raymond Carver poem (All of Us) that I've read cover to cover countless times, the dada poetry of Tristan Tzara, Allan Ginsberg's Howl is of course incredible, a book of the poems of Forough Farrokhzad an Iranian woman poet and filmmaker from the 20th century, By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept by Elizabeth Smart which is a prose poetry novel, TS Eliot's The Waste Land, Tau by Philip Lamantia. That's just the poetry I've read and loved. There's plenty of others that's just been good or hasn't left a major impression. The poetry of Leonard Cohen is quite funny and touching too now I think about it ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Basho is insanely good in the way he writes poetry to reflect on the narrative experience he has had.

Of course. Among the best are Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Verlaine, Yeats, Blake. Impeccable taste! T.S. Eliot as mentioned, is great; Ezra Pound; Dante; what little there is of Sappho is pretty remarkable. You can go on and on. There's really something for everyone out there BurmesePenguin posted... The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Basho is insanely good in the way he writes poetry to reflect on the narrative experience he has had. Have you read any Saigyo? I discovered him pretty recently but his work is also beautiful.

Poetry is more like a precision art of language. The part that's supposed to impress is how well it flows or rhymes and not necessarily the content of the poem itself. Now if you can simultaneously do both have a great story in your poem while also having excellent verse and rhyming then that's really impressive. The most recent author I can think of that did both really well is Robert Frost. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

I've never been a big poetry fan, but a guy once gave me a small book of Japanese love poems (I think it was his way of flirting, but sadly he lacked follow-through) and I was pleasantly surprised. The verses were succinct and gorgeously written, even with the translation.
