THe teacher let them go with it, and they eventaully pulled a lot of "deep" meaning from it. just a bunch of words and numbers (author's names and page numbers i think they were actually). basically anyting can be percieved as art and people can enjoy it. just like music, visual art, whatever... i heard some construction equipment on campus the other day and i swear the banging and clanging was just as cool sounding as any industrial tracks i'ev heard recently. would've been cool to sample and loop as a rhythm track. so what's my point? i dunno... but basically if people enjoy it or get meaning out if it, it qualifies as art (in this case poetry). and yes i agree that there's so many cliches and overworked themes that it gets pretty lame sometimes. but i'm sure there's SOMEONE out there that has an original perspective on love... so keep trying, people. love is a passing emotion :)
