‘What can I say? I’ve known him for one and a half years: he’s a morose sort of chap – gloomy, stand-offish and proud; recently (and for all I know not so recently, as well) he’s been over anxious, with a tendency to hypochondria. But sometimes it’s not hypochondria at all that he’s suffering from, he’s simply cold and unfeeling to the point of inhumanity, it’s really just as though there were two opposites alternating within him. He is sometimes unconscionably short on conversation! It’s all: “I’ve no time, stop bothering me”, yet he just lies there not doing anything. He doesn’t mock, yet it’s not because he doesn’t have enough wit, but rather as though he didn’t have enough time for such trivial matters. He doesn’t listen to what people say to say to him. He’s never interested in what everyone else is interested in at any given moment. He has fearfully high opinion of himself, and perhaps not entirely without justification. Well, what else?...I think your arrival will have a most salutary effect on him.’ Fyodor Dostoevsky

It's funny, because when you look at poetry there are so many styles. For instance, Haiku is a poetry style that to me doesn't resemble actual poetry, but it is. Rap is the same in the music industry. While some don't understand or appreciate it, it is very much poetry in itself and should you get past the "big booty bitches" songs and find a real rap "artist" you would be surprised at just how intelligent and thought provoking their lyrics become.
