The Dead Poets Society

"We do not read and write poetry because its cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, an old man's love. These are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman: 'Oh me, oh life of the questions of these recurring, of the endless strains of the faithless, of cities filled with the foolish, what good made of these? Oh me, oh life!' Answer: That you are here. That life exists and identity. As the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. As the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?" ---Dead Poets Society

I posted THIS certain Quote because I've seen a lot of BAD poems out there. And my conclusion is that maybe they're just doing poetry because it's CUTE. Maybe they don't know that POETRY is not a bunch of rhyming words, but LIFE defined.
