Making Poetry Popular

I don't mean to be bitchy (no, really) but this whole conversation.. all this stuff about how poetry "should" be and what "needs to be done".. strikes me as very....elitist.  And, almost condescending. It makes me go BLAH. Not because many of you don't have valid points (you do), but because it seems to me to almost be the source of the problem, the (percieved or real, I don't know) divide between poetry and other writing is in this...disussion. Does that make sense? Eh. Maybe it's just my tendendy to get nervous about any proclamation, and I'm just in love with being vague an ineffective.

I'm with what Ryan said (I think it was Ryan I don't wanna check).. you guys worry about what it SHOULD be, and i'll just be writing. Well, not ME. But.. t hat's a good way to look at it.

Ehhhhhhhhhh wahtever. This kind of discussion still makes me feel blah-y.
