Poetry and anti-poetry
The so-called anti-poetry, of course, means completely opposed to poetry.
In other words, anti-poetry is, according to your opinion,
Everything that should not be poetry in any way requires people to call it poetry.
Anti-poetry is written using unadorned language, humor and strong contrast and contrast in daily life.
What anti-poetry expresses is not simply wit, fun and humor. Because it rests on a single inner feeling,
Each anti-poet reaches out to society and critically points out that solemnity between unjust deeds is ridiculous.
So, what the anti-poet extracts is the humor that exists in society,
rather than artificially creating it,
discovering it in this way The humor is often dark and sarcastic.

People say that he is a kind dictator
Because he bought cheap houses

Edward Escobar made the sky fall in the following lines:
I sincerely, patiently,
< p>Looking for God in the phone bookTo make it easier to talk to Him about our difficulties, God really should have installed a telephone.
Now, God is like a helpless father looking at his creation, looking sad.
The anti-poet sympathized with him very much.
Finally, an important aspect of anti-poetry is that it is constantly updated. The anti-poet talks about new movies,
fashionable clothes, visiting comets, smoke from the stove Pies, shoes that grind your feet.
Anti-poetry does not ask you to fantasize after working,
but to make you understand that maybe your work is because you are not aware of it well enough.
< p> Nor is there a good enough awareness of the forces that influence your behavior and state of mind, and thus has no purpose.Anti-poetic attention to the world means that human beings will reveal their flaws and nastiness,
rather than continue to hide them within themselves.
