False. In fact, contemporary music (as all other arts) would benefit greatly from the average songwriter having a little more respect for poetry.
Owen Johnson
yeah if your standard in songwriting is nignog nigga got the stiffy shit
let me rephrase and tell me if you agree: good songwriting is generally more enjoyable than good poetry writing
Evan Bailey
How are songs better than poetry? Song lyrics are repetitive and use the elements of poetry to a lesser degree than actual poetry. The music makes up for the lack of poetic devices thought and makes it something seperately enjoyable. Comparing them doesn't really mean anything, but I think good poetry is harder to write than "good" song lyrics.

Yeah man I hate rap too.
Nolan Flores
That may be true, but a great poem is better than a great song.
Levi Powell
good rap is better than good poetry
Jaxon Hughes

t. /mu/sician trying to justify his terrible degree choice

Hahaha I love how you faggots fight on terms of art.
You guys are like babies, watch this:

Not trying to derail, but is this a good book to read if I have no experience with poetry?
Brody White
no
find a used copy of "norton's anthology of poetry" instead
Carter Williams
There's no such thing as good rap. You're either a nigger or underage.
Leo Ross
this is the one I own. Its huge and can usually be found for cheap
Aaron Bennett
poetry is crippled music. Sometimes poets get really good with their wheelchair basketball but it's still not as good as the real thing.
Anthony Hernandez
Oh man, Norton Anthology. I'm studying Veeky Forums at uni right now and so many of these show up in our reading lists.
>tfw never bothered to actually buy one
Joshua Campbell
you're an uncultured swine who things rap is relegated to jay z and snoop dogg
Dominic Myers
You're an underage from /mu/ who thinks Aesop Rock and Milo are interesting literary figures.
Jackson Thomas
you're a soyboy who thinks dad rock and libcuck bands like imagine dragons and modest mouse is the pinnacle of composition
Charles Torres
I only listen to art music.

Okay, serious question, what is good about poetry? I have tried many times to get into it and I always find nothing from it. The only two poems that actually struck me were Ash Wednesday and the hippopotamus by TS Eliot. I really don't even understand how to ENJOY poetry.
What do you guys feel from it? How do you read it?
Nathan Lee
I feel the same way, but some really good poetry you could try is the translated classics like dante and ovid.
but as for shit like robert frost or ezra pound, I don't have a clue how to help you. just words on a page for me
Austin Green

Explain how serious music is in any way soy.
Lincoln Nguyen
William Sanchez
only soyboys listen to it

If you want something contemporary and readable I recommend Billy Collins.
Very conversational while still being 'good poetry' and providing interesting insights/perspectives into things
