I think poets are flies and emos are the maggots.
You only start being a poet (fly )once you leave being an emo (maggot) behind.
Romantic imagery - I paint quite a picture, do I not ? -

-
GTFO.

completely true poetry has no bondaries... it doesnt even mean u have to be a good writer ... i think poetry is good no matter what if it expresses emotion no matter who writes it its how they are feeling that translates into the poem... the only good poet / bad poet is determind by the emotion in the poem so... the person with a poem that expresses emotion is good o matter what

I like it.
Oh wait...I thought you said EMU poetry...as you were! -
OK, everyone has emotions - it's just part of the "package deal"
What nauseates me is when people just lie there wallowing in over-pampered emotions and become individuals who are just "breathing repositories of excessive emotionalism" and nothing more.
Ooooh, I'm SOOOO emotional....
It's so excessive that they have to be separated into a category and given a name to distinguish them from normal people...."Uh, hello, sniffle sniffle, I'm an emo....."
Give me a freakin break, already.......

I don't call myself emo or anything, but I do have "emotional" problems(sure, let's call it that) amongst other things. Most of my poetry is written from my emotions/how I am feeling at that time. Writing it out helps make me feel better. I don't write it to get attention or for anyone to feel sorry for me. I don't want that.. all I want is to feel better. Writing is my escape and one of the few things that make me happy in this world.

ur really close minded... not everyone has the ability to let their emotions out... they might not have people or something to let it out either.. true ...some people whom claim to be emo just say/do it for show... but the others... they truely have problems...

I think that the basis for lots of poetry is an emotion, so emo poetry is sincere in its roots. It's a very basic form sometimes, but to some people writing is a process that helps their emotions heal.
-
i think that the best poetry is emo. i mean all it means is emotional, and if you don't have any emotion in your poetry, it wont be very good now will it?
-
hm, lol oke.. i suppose so. but i think it works both ways, doesn't it?

the maggot metaphor is shit.
Emo's the new thing: doesn't really matter if you like it.
Seeing as it's often about pain, I think most people don't "like" it.
This is really just the beginning I think; Emo poetry (and other art forms taking on Emo tints) are still rough and unrefined.
But everything is going emo now and there is no way to stop it. Sometime soon, someone is going to harness the potential of the genre and bring it to a more fully realized art-form.
but the maggot metaphor is still shit.
I want to say caterpillar metamorphose into butterfly is more appropriate, but I reject that image for its fruitiness.
It's a new generation thing; were all still little kids, but we're something to be afraid of. -

Explain more thoroughly why you think the maggot metaphor is shit. Do you even understand the metaphor? In your bash on it, you said it was shit twice without explaining why.
Your "new generation" opinion makes no sense regarding emo poetry. It makes sense if you're talking about the emo genre of style though. Emo poetry is stupid, cliche, lovey-dovey, i-cut-myself-to-feel kind of stuff. That's not a new generation thing.
Next time you call something shit, explain why.. and make sure your own opinion has accountability. -

I don't really want to reply to someone named centrifugal corpse
That wasn't a bash on emo, just on all of you guys.
no disrespect of course, that's just how I do.

Emo For Sale
It's new gen huh? Well I think that as a younger writer we are slighting ourselves. The emo scene isn't rough or undefined it’s a marketable style and they write like shit because these teeny boppers can't get enough of it. Self loathing is only good when it’s tasteful if we as poets were nothing but rainbows none of us would stand the erosion of simplified lifestyles that is sweeping us up like dirt devils filled with acronyms and emote smiley faces, and this emo ideal is a main component of the swirling fast paced shortened bull shit -
Emo as a genre is definatley not my favorite but in just like some forms, it can be great. You can't say an entire genre is bad; there is good poetry and theres just cliche, stupid, or horribly written poetry. Saying all emo poetry sucks is an incorrect generalized statement, almost like a sterotype.

emotive is good for singing

Well emo is not my thing. It's one thing to be depressed and loathe yourself, but to post 200 poems that are generally the same, and the same as 200 other people's 200 emo poems, it gets kind of blah. Don't get me wrong, sadness is a good emotion to play on, but I feel a lot of the 'emo' stuff lacks creativity and to me, isn't really poetry.
Play it up, throw some metaphors and language in, crimson droplets from slashed wrists and stakes in the heart aren't original.
You got to stand out and be different. -
I read a few pieces by a 14-year-old today. They were definitely not poetry and she knew this and said she didn't care in her author's notes. No one commented but her best friend and her boyfriend. So she's obviously using this site as therapy. I think that's what a lot of "emos" and "goths" do on here. They want to be heard cause no one's listening but I wouldn't necessarily call that poetry.
That's what I think emo is to a lot of teenagers and older people who don't really understand it. I don't like blantantly dark poems on here because of it, I mean if you can write about suicide with lines other than "slashed my wrist" "crimson", "I hate myself and want to die" then good but those are few on here. I maintain that it's okay to write on those topics but at least be original
Read Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton (poets) and Virginia Woolf (novelist) and come back to us and see if you can write an original emo poem. They taught me real metaphors and they often did write of suicide. All having commited it in the end. -
I thick ith gud.

Emo writing is... blech. It's for angsty, immature teens. Now, I'm all for emotions. I know, I have them too. But the way they express them is cliched and pathetic.
The truly pathetic thing about the emo genre is that it isn't even emotional. When I read it, I feel NOTHING. It does nothing for the reader. It consists of cutting and "oh em gee Ima gonna kill mahself." When the writer uses the words "sad" and "depressed" in their poem, it's basically done for. Most of them can't properly express their emotions with literary devices. Does that make sense to any of you?
When have any of you ever read an emo "poem" that made you feel anything, made you go, "Oh wow, that's insightful and relates to me as a person," or anything of that sort?
I haven't. They're cliche, they're unemotional, they're angsty and immature.
Feel free to ask me to expand. I'm not backing down on anything I have just said.
