The thing about Siggy cringeposting his 9001 soppy romantic musings that would get me running far away from any real guy spouting them is that he unironically 100% means every single cheesy word

ranting about poetry and whatever but it annoys me so much when people disregard poetry and it's value because it was taught to them poorly in high school. poems are much more than just random words thrown in a blender and pushed onto paper in some weird way just for you to mindlessly write about it to hand in for a grade. every single aspect of a single poem holds meaning. the time it was written, the format, the diction and syntax, the title, literally all of it. just because you weren't taught how to properly analyze poems doesn't mean that they have no meaning, it means that you don't have the skills to analyze them. and some teachers make it especially hard to form those skills. but the lack of skill really doesn't need to be carried with you long after your graduation. you can read whatever poems you want from whatever era you want. romantic poems, epics, haikus, contemporary, the world is literally your oyster. you're much older and smarter than you were when you graduated. there's no reason to hold the same opinions you had while in high school about a topic much broader than you realize.

anyway let the soft animal of your body love what it loves shall I compare thee to a summer's day I walked to the fertile crescent and built the sphinx the poem ends soft as it began- I loved my friend or whatever. blah blah blah
