Never read it, if I can help it. The few poets I've actually met are also amongst the least likeable people I've met, so that jibes.
You got us. Our lot in life is to piss everyone off to the point of being hated like Hitler, Po Pot, Stalin and Hitler.
Or you simply don't know how to judge individual poems.
Art is nothing more than message, be it music, painting, sculpture or movies. Nobody is going to like all of any of that !00% of the time. But we all can find messages we like.
But an artist is an ARTIST; Brian :
in other words artistic wonder catch the crowd; some poems make thousands cry
