NO Ideas but in Things

Poet write elegant poems. They made it so lofty, about love, about friendship, about fear, about betrayal. And yet those poems seems distant to normal people. Those literature freaks surely do love these but these topics does not resonant with common public readers. So, to get closer to the readers, making them share the feelings the poets felt (the intention of art from ex ex ex (ex, lost count) article), poets resort to make poems, a past exclusive thing, open to the public. Poems no longer need to stay on abstract grand topics. Anyone, even non-poets, gets to write about computer, camera, calculator, pencil, notebook, calculus homework (just naming stuff next to me here).  Now, is the limitation a good thing or a bad thing? I certainly like the idea of limitation. Poems sounds elegant, looks elegant, and supposedly means elegant. However, if people write about stains in the kitchen sink (cough*), the last isn't true. The last bit of elegance is stripped off by the varying and less important subject matter. The core of poems, which I take as elegance, is been stripped of. And thus, I believe the limitation on the subject matter is crucial and necessary for the birth of a good poem.
