Today’s Gator-aide, respond to the quote: “Poetry makes nothing happen.” Paradoxically written in a poem by W.H. Auden

Response should include your interpretation of the quote and if you agree/disagree with it and why. At least a paragraph (3-5 sentences)

also is anyone else questions getting spammed with math answers too- when its like poetry or something-

sorry its in the art thing when its supposed to be in english or something- im trying to get away from that person

Answer:

I interpret this quote as the author saying that even though they are writing poetry, they are not doing anything worthwhile. Perhaps this author believes that their life has been a waste of time, or that they've spent their time writing poetry instead of doing things for the world. Or maybe they just figured it sounded cool.
