Journal 74: Poetry’s Social Function

Poetry is not bad or anything, its just that its hard to understand for some people and that kids find it annoying to evaluate something complicated. Its definitely not deteriorating, its just modern kids are finding it hard to appreciate it. However, the older people are getting more and more interested in poetry than kids. It oculd be said that poetry is experiencing a shift of interest between age groups. The poems nowadays are getting more and more interesting as it is connected to songs or creating a sort of rhythm that's like a song. In this manner, poetry are getting more and more interesting for people. Such as when you look at the poems conducted during that poet show that you showed us. So many people was interested in the poems that was proposed because humor and focus on the societal problems are being used in them. In difference from the imagists or something like that, we have focused on that before, so we don't care. For me, i like to do or create something that attacks people's idea or view on something. It might not necessarily be shocking, but my ideas are like the poems that were read aloud, to shock and inform people of a idea. (i went to look at more poems on the show and this is what i find)
