I can see that you like Eliot and Keats, and I understand your frame of mind better as well. It's always good to make head-way in understand those who you have things in common. I am not a teenager, not an underdeveloped mind, but was both at one time. I do understand young folk need to be nutured, but I feel that today's young people are 'too' nurtured. That's why there are so many twenty-something's in America moving back in with mom and pop after they graduate . . . college! The stats are there if you look for them. Especially when dealing with the upper-crust of thinkers-poets- there should be someone 9or many people for that matter) voicing their likes and dislikes. Of course 'emo' is just another fad that will pass, but it sure is fun for me to slam it when so many young folks take it so closely to heart. What should they be taking to heart? Keats, Shelley, Eliot, Neruda, Ammons, Dunbar, all of those minds who had something to say, instead of a nameless image of a Goth's 'retarded little brother' (the emo) which will soon be forgotten like it never existed. I feel less and less kids enjoy these works of art, yet more and more write (quote, unquote) poetry. Kind of sick to think that more 'art' is being produced, yet less people can clearly define it. Anyway, I look forward to reading you more in the forums and I will pop back to your page later this week to read/critique.
