Internet poetry real poetry? I believe it is, just as Da Da and Cubism are to painting and sculpture. And you?

Question

*****

LATENT HATE

Where are you, my hate

my rage, my name caller…

Why do I cry at sorrow,

when I should be laughing cruelly with spit?

What’s wrong with me?

Where is my swath?

My path of destruction…

Why is my wake not strewn with bodies?

Who am I in the mirror—man?

The one that won’t allow me to chew my food

and watch TV at the same time?

Not that I'm against a good critique, but please know something about poetry.

Answer 5

Poetry is of course not dependent on the medium used, but the skill of the writer. In your case the skill exhibited is that of successfully presenting your insubstantial and empty words as delightful and brilliant, much thanks to those who are afraid  to think or to be unpopular.
