I Hate Modern Poetry

I feel like true poetry has been ruined by teens who write *******
Modern day poetry writers are like a fandom now
Who write things about their emotions and how they feel about themselves

Two words:
****. You.
That's right. ******* for ruining poetry.
I honestly don't give a **** about your emotions or if you're a ******* "demon queen or king" of high school
I remember the real poets.
Maya Angelou.
Walt Whitman.
William Shakespeare.
Langston Hughes.
Edgar Allan Poe.

'But now who are the "real poets"?
Jasmine?
Alexa?
Haunter?
Brianna?
Just to name a few.
**** No!
Like the great Kanye West once said
"Does anybody make real **** anymore?!"

You are not "rotten".
You are not "a demon".
But you are not a poet either.
Sure, there are some truly beautiful modern poems.
But until more of those great authors make real poems and the emotional ******* ends
Poetry will be a stupid.
Worthless cringeworthy crap.

I don't think this a correctly made poem.
I don't believeΒ Β that it's a poem at all.
There are no rhymes.
No rhetorical devices.
But what is a poem anymore?
