Humans are complex beings and i think it all depends on the mood of the individual. For instance could you be moved by a hip hop song? Or a nonsense poem? Some people are. I suppose the same rules apply as in the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Look at the most vicious online arguments. 90% of them involve music. It defines our character, embeds our emotions so naturally that music could not possibly fall deaf (no pun intended) on our souls. The instruments, the beats, the harmonies, the vocals, all blended in surreal exaltation. A climax of thought and feeling. In a word, beautiful.

I think many of you will agree with me when I say that poems should be well-crafted and not random scribbles. Good poetry has depth and meaning, and is a joy to read and listen to. Poems should be taut and compact, with 'the right words in the right places'. After all, a poem is not mere gushing...

by Mark Hodges 11 years ago
most poetry is inspired by emotion and follows a theme directed by that emotion. colour also affects emotions,linking the two makes poetry come more alive and gives it depth so I label this as 'Psychedelic Poetry' would this create an extra slant on approved poetic style and bring the...
