Recently I was leafing through a book of poems that I had taken a course in creative writing at the university. The book of poems for the millennium, a collection of modern poetry and postmodern. It remains one of my favorites of the university. What I like about this book is that it highlights what I consider a problem of the large, modern and postmodern poetry - the rebellion.
As writers, we are given the freedom to create what we want. Who said that we should keep the traditional rules? This iswhat I love about modern poetry - that defies the rules of his predecessors. Take the Cobra (also known as Cobra) movement in late 1940 as an example.
The name comes from Cobra cities in which artists and poets lived - hagen Co. USSEL Br, and A msterdam. At that time, Europe was just a time of war, war, and this group has tried to live on through the arts.
Like the Dadaists of the world of art, artists rebelled CobraDisadvantages of Western popular culture over time.
"We eliminate the aesthetic principles. We are not disappointed, because we are under no illusions. We have never had."

Mad is mad
Fools are fools
Since everything is crazy
Of all that is crazy
Not everything is crazy

And do not be mad crazy
Nothing crazy, after all
Fools are not mad

Mad is mad

Much of the work of the Cobra movement would be difficult to reproduce here. If you are interested, try some of the following artists / poets Lucebert Christian Dotremont, Asger Jorn, Gerrit Kouwen, Pierre Alechinsky and Hugo Claus.
TheCobra movement was short, even if new moves that these rebellions, the global changes and styles are making thing.
While it is important to respect and honor the traditional styles, I think it is also important for the literary world, only to rebel against them, too. Experiment with your art, your writing. Although it may be still in good shape to take with you what you want.
