I read or hear poets of now
Who with their poetry try to wow
Readers and listeners oft enthralled
With their poetry, as its now called.

But as I read and listen they sound
Like disorganized disjointed prose.
Yes that's how modern poetry goes!
Like modern art to classic fare
This poetry they do compare
To classic poetry well known

Ethereal words and lilting rhyme
Reading and listening made sublime!
'Modern'artists had classic start
Knew how to draw ere 'modern' art.
I wonder how many poets today-
Sans rhyme, rhythm began that way?
It's everyone's right to write,God knows,
Don't call Poetry what's really Prose!
I agree. I've heard that there is free verse, prosetry and slam. I even wrote my first poems in reverse until I realized they had no lyric, rhythm, meter or rhyme.
