If I am forced to read one more poem,
or a sonnet that hath thrived too long,
about how thou misses thine lover,
or how all of thine's hope is gone.
If I am to read just one more haiku,
of self-muilation or suicide,
or perhaps how depressed thou feels at night,
I my just lose my mind.
He who still writes of cliche moments,
with thine lover and the setting sun,
hugging and kissing, and final moments,
I tell thee, thine day is done.
Poetry was once a thriving art,
of livelihood and taste,
but I feel that with these sad, poor souls,
poetry hath been killed in disgrace.
I submit to you, young poets,
with thine depression, self-loathing and hate,
that thou should stop sucking the life force from this art,
and leave it of it's fragile state.
If I am to hear just one single line,
of how one feels that no one cares,
I may just let my held tongue slip,
and cure thou to the contrare.
If I am to hear a single word,
of how the weight of the world is too much girth,
I may just take my pen tonight,
and kill every poet on this earth.

- Title: The Death of Poetry
- Artist: Universal-Path

Description:
I get very tired of seeing the same, depressing or teenage-romantic poems on this website. All of the poems about suicide and cutting oneself and depression, it's really not what poetry is all about.
So I dedicate this to you, anyone who writes such irritating poetry. - Date: 02/25/2009

- now im a good poet, not the greatest but wat i write is usually depressing and bout death and all. but i have my reasons. father wants to kill me (nearly did a few times) i had a majority of ppl at school who detested me for things i didnt do, called me a demon, abandoned me and they too wished me dead. got to the edge of murder and stayed there for years. each poem i write, shows a piece of me, my soul. but if u open ur minds, ull know that literally everything is cliched, even ppl.

- So true, and it gets on my nerves. The more teenage angst in the poem, usually the more poorly written. (Not always though, to those who write; poetry is also a release-valve for the soul) Very good, and I mean it. Definitely the best I've read so far.

- wow, true there are some poets here who... aren't the best but they dont suck. So far I've read poetry about Love, death, anything that has to do with that but there is poetry everywhere. People have diffrent point of views about poetry and what is it. Poetry can be about anything. most of the people's poetry I've read were about death, star cross'd lovers etc. but still not all are bad. Like this one you wrote.. its really good although it is critisizing the poets who appriciate dark stuff etc.
