I hate poetry

Wow, I love this, you did a really great job and it's so interesting and thought-provoking because of it going against its own words. It's like in society when you hate a way something is done but you can't help but partake in it and be the problem yourself.

Oh, hi there; didn't see you! You've reached r/OCPoetry.

This is a really interesting poem! I never would have thought about a poem about how much you hate poetry, so definitely points for creativity. The only thing is, I'm a little confused as to why the person reading the poem gets angry and shouts "BANG." It seems to come out of nowhere. But your rhyme scheme is great! And I thought it was interesting how you ended the poem with a line that didn't rhyme. Keep sharing your poems!

Surprisingly well-written, given the subject :P

I really liked the "BANG" line, I assumed it was a particularly dramatic part of the poem being read, and the narrator's lackluster response was amusing. I liked the end as well, the last three lines have a great flow, and of course "What's next, a metaphor, maybe?" running straight into an egregious metaphor (or is it an anti-metaphor?) is hilarious.

I love the piece. Very meta. Particularly liked the way you set up your POV within the first two lines with the ironic sigh, signifying your dramatic pause.

I envisioned it like a poem being voiced over a slow-mo of a classic poem being recited.

I think that sentence brings your piece into life. Rightfully short because of the abruptness of the thought you're conveying. A Fleeting whisper of a feeling, when you're watching everyone in awe of a poem being recited I suppose. (Maybe, that's just how I interpreted it)

I loved it. If poetry beckons again please write :)

Love this! Absolutely gorgeous! And the fact that it rhymes has me dying for more. And it's not pretentious I can feel the frustration and emotions that drove your writing.
