Poems can be many different things: they can be profound, they can be depressing, and they can even be incredibly amusing. And although the subject matter covered in a poem isn't always humorous, the arrangement and rhyming scheme of the lines make the poem extremely enjoyable.

What more can you hope for from these poems than a good message? Some of them are actually quite profound poems that discuss the state of humanity in a caustic manner, giving the whole thing an unsettling sense of humor.

Then, of course, there are some very endearing and relatable love poems here. There are a few kid-friendly short poems, along with a healthy dose of adult-friendly poetry and a whole lot more.

There are different pages on the internet that share humorous poetry samples but the one you're about to see is totally different. One really embarrassing example of modern poetry has shown that being solely online is among the worst things that have happened to the genre. 

For the bad reasons you might think, a brief, untitled verse on how a woman should spy on all of her boyfriend's social media accounts became popular on Twitter. Even worse than the terrible words themselves is the underlying attitude.

Readers were unimpressed, to put it mildly, and they had a lot to say about it. Rupi Kaur has a lot of explaining to do.

This lady @niccoyat dropped the screenshot on her Twitter page and it drew in a lot of comments

She follows it up saying:

Let's head into the comments section and find out what other X users had to say:

This commenter wants to know of they are getting paid to write these things

I'm right here wondering about something similar

This commenter just had to say what this poem reminded her of

My goodness... That was the first thought that came to my mind

This commenter pens down what should be considered a crime

It's the correction for me

Is this even a poem territory?

This commenter just can't get over this particular line

It's sad that it still hunts us today

This commenter is revealing why he got dumped

This particular commenter just had to repeat the poem

And this is how this commenter chose to wrap up the whole thing

You should find out the reasons you want to learn how to snoop through your partner's phone (that's if you're intending to). Although immediately looking through your partner's phone could allay your concerns, it might also be a symptom of more serious relationship problems.

The prying behaviour could be an indication of another issue. Gaining insight into your reasons for feeling the urge to search through your partner's phone will help you come up with a different plan of action.
