Poetry

If I were alive during the same time period as Emily dickinson and walt whitman I would probably listen or read Whitmans poems more than Emily Dickinson's poems. I would probably readd both of them if I read poetry at all though I do not think I would read poetry as I truly despise poetry and even if i lived in their time I do not think that I would like poetry still. I think it is boring and there is to many ways to interept a poem i prefer to know things not the try and interperet things. Though if I had to choose i would probably listen to whitman more because his poems in my opinion have a different feel to them as emily dickinson's poems do. He has I think better literature and better feel for poetry. Plus I really dislke Emily Dickinson, I think she should not write about life when all she did was observe other people lving it. Who is she to write about love and God when she has not experienced either becasue all she did was sit inside her hous and stare outside. Though to be honest I really doubrt that I would listen or read poetry anyway. I really do hate poetry because i think it is pointless and to touchy feely for me. Whitman is I suppsoe the lesser of two evils when it comes to poetry though and that is why I would probaly listen to or read his poems more than I would emily dickinsons but I wouldnt listen or read wither of them unless forced to, by my teachers...
