How do I get into poetry? I'd rather something that's not corny and actually rhymes, I'll have none of that spoken word shit.

sart with the gregs
English romantics. Search 'em up and take your pic. And if you really want to understand all their references to mythology, read Ovid's Metamorphoses, preferably Mandelbaum translation
greeks?

You don't. You're clearly an infant.
rhyming is overrated user, but it's all good and depends on your taste really.
How do you write good poetry? Most of it seems like baseless statements.

does moot still own it?
I guess he doesn't
oh well
Is it really that simple?
I think a large percentage of modern poetry is corny. I don't recall ever reading poetry before the 1900s and thinking they were corny.
But I do love my rhyming I'm afraid.
>actually rhymes

Have you tried hip hop?

Get an anthology and find what you like
What have I to say to you
When we shall meet?
Yet—
I lie here thinking of you.
The stain of love
Is upon the world.
Yellow, yellow, yellow,
It eats into the leaves,
Smears with saffron
The horned branches that lean
Heavily
Against a smooth purple sky.
There is no light—
Only a honey-thick stain
That drips from leaf to leaf
And limb to limb
Spoiling the colours
Of the whole world.
I am alone.
The weight of love
Has buoyed me up
Till my head
Knocks against the sky.
See me!
My hair is dripping with nectar—
Starlings carry it
On their black wings.
See, at last
My arms and my hands
Are lying idle.
How can I tell
If I shall ever love you again
As I do now?
Listen to this, it has rhymes and non rhymes lines:

Any other books to help with mythological references? I really like the English romantics and want to understand the poetry better.
This is how it's done
