Poetry Snobs, More on Writing Accessible Poems

In a previous post I talked about accessible poetry and how to make your poems more accessible to readers. Personally, I think all of my poems are accessible and I still think that's a good thing. I read an article recently that suggested contemporary poets are "dumbing down" poetry by writing in a simplistic style. This poem is my response.

I write poetry to express my thoughts and feelings. If you read my poems and the words evoke a single memory or feeling in you, then I am satisfied. Thanks for reading!
