  1. Isn’t writing poetry like totally gay?

    Back in the day, the higher-ups couldn’t get a lady if they couldn’t write a good poem. So no, poetry writing is not gay; it used to be extremely manly.
    Writing Walt Whitman-like poetry, however, is most definitely a sign of gayness, or at least bisexuality. See Allen Ginsberg as an example.

  2. The ideal samurai was a warrior poet who was supposed to compose his death poem (haiku) right before committing seppuku.
    So I’m gonna have to go with, “No, writing poetry is not gay.”
    Unless the poem is about either John Edwards or being gay, then all bets are off.

  3. Fred uses poetry as a noble art… John Edwards uses interpretive dance, which nobody ‘gets’.
    Poetry uses a pen which is mightier than a sword, although not as cool as a gun or pastrami piled very high on rye with melted swiss, russian dressing, and sauerkraut.
    Anyways… interpretive dance involves some kind of weird shoes and unitards.
    Poetry wins
