Dirty pretty is a form of poetry which utilizes punctuation as a way of emphasizing words. Contrary to what many believe, it is NOT just random punctuation. It is about the [calligraphy] of words, using visuals to impact on the way the poem/emotions are seen and read. Although [the content] of dirty pretty poems varies, most pertain to drugs, sex, eating disorders, etc. Dirty pretty is a poetic art, and not everyone can master it. Many over-punctuate, making the poem hard to read and losing the true meaning of the piece. Some truly great dirty pretty poets: (found on allpoetry.com) sinnocence behind.blue.eyes x Empathic Rose x dancing marionette Melicious--x Queen of Anonymity ([bear in mind] that these poets write in other forms too)
