Best poets??

According to you, which agegroup produces the best poetry???

18-45 i think, addition to that it depends on imaginery and experiences

Age does not matter it is the words and their feelings that flow from the heart of the writer.

yeah
im only 13, and people say that some of my poemz are good, but i think lots of the older people have much more experience, so i can't really compare myself to any of them.

that all depends on personal preferance.. and u cant judge someones poetic skills based on their age.. thats what I think at least

^ I totally agree. A 45 year old poet can be phenomenal. But a 14 year old may be equally as good. Talent is ageless.

^I agree. I'm 27, but a 14 year old has better poems than I. It's just your amount of experience.

It has to do with how much eperience you have on poems. I like Bob Shanks poems though ^_^

I agree with the experience being what makes you.
If you read someones poems from 2 years ago and what they write today it usually improves greatly.

I know I've improved. :]]

I don't think age matters when it comes to poerty. i've seen a lot of young kids who can write very well and a lot of older people too.

If you take poetry seriously, then you produce good poetry.

The reason why is because everyone favors a certain type of poem, and what on person may consider good may be, to another person, horrible.

We all hold ourselves up to some standard, and we are brave enough to put ourselves out in the world where people criticize you and your writing by their own standards.

I don't think it matters what age group. People have said I have pretty good poetry for a 13 year old, and I've read some pretty good poetry from 40-something year olds. Doesn't matter.

Age does not matter.......... Like any other art you learn it when you are young yet the older you get the more experience you get.

Yeah i agree.. Age does not matter.. Like I'm 20 and i dont think my poems are nearly as good as some of the 13-19 year old that i have read.. and older. and at the church i go to... this little girl shes about 8-10ish.. wrote a poem.. when i first read it i though that an older person had written it.. it was that good.. anyway. back on topic. i think that age does not matter. as long as it comes from your heart..

I think that alot of poems that come from people under ABOUT 17 are pretty elementry. not all.. just a large amount.

Hm, I'd have to go with 13-35?

I think that younger writers have the next generation originality and dramatizations, thinking that the world will end if theyre not happy , and have constant inspirations from crushes and "break-ups"

It's all good

16-35, but that's just me. However I think people outside that age group can also make beautiful poems. I just think 16-35 produces the BEST because I've read some pretty great ones.
