I mean I also felt a bit rejected when he also turned me down on the weekend also, even though we were supposed to see each other.

 You write: "What should I do now?"
I write: Let him go/ dump him.... there's no future with him.....
Good luck....

He dumped you because of that?
Red Flag.
Perhaps you should just move on. Either he's really that sensitive, or he's really that pathetic. Whatever the reason, he's way too edgy.

Forget him! That’s a ridiculous overreaction to a light-hearted comment. Even if he didn’t see the funny side, isn’t ending it a bit extreme? He’s either got anger issues, or he’s immature, or actually he’s not that serious about the relationship. Whatever the reason, it’s not worth the bother.
I wish you all the very best.

 He probably feels hurt because you didn't respond in the way he expected and jumped to the end rather than talk it out. This is one big reason that people shouldn't communicate via text because sometimes it gets taken the wrong way or read in a way the sending didn't intend. I would suggest not chasing him up now, if he meant what he said then he isn't worth being with anyway because it sounds very childish.
I do agree with a previous poster though that suggested that any poetry is more of a gift than you realize. People have quoted poets for years and I think it is incredibly sweet of him to have done that and tried, which is most likely why you hurt his feeling a little.
Give it some time and see if it blows over. If not, perhaps he isn't the right person for you?

Yes i am curious too what kind of wierd poetry? You probably bruised his ego a bit. You will find that men when sharing something deep or meaningful and you crack a joke, can get extremely offended, i find at times my bf can be more sensitive than i am. However, i agree with the other post, you probably called him out on it and thats why he blew up. That is such a petty thing to break up over... I guess you can consider yourself lucky because if he would break up with you for that, what would have happened when anything in your relationship was on a low? Hed run like a jackrabbit and leave u with the aftermath. Breaking up is always hard, but you will be grateful when you find someone with more of a sense of humor that you get on with better. Just look toward your future and dont let him be apart of it.

Sounds like your better off without him, so don't do anything now just let him get on with things and you do your own thing. I am amazed that someone could end a relationship over that; it's mind boggling. Lucky escape for you, can imagine he might be used to someone fawning over him just because he uses a bit of poetry but actions speak louder than words.
Best of luck in the future.
