I cannot stand poetry that doesn't rhyme. I know a majority of the world formally disagrees, but in my own eye it's the lazy-man's version of poetry. Mind you, throwing lines together with rhyming words isn't exactly appealing either.
I don't read too much poetry, I'm more of a novel kind of person, and I'm a tough critic so it's hard to find a poem I like amongst the many I read.
People always say my poetry is amazing, but I frankly can't stand it. It's a rare day I write a poem, and they always end up so bleak and depressing I want nothing to do with them. They always make people cry, and I want people to enjoy my work in other ways than tears. xD It just makes me feel like I'm doing poorly.
When I do write, I prefer sonnets. There's something about them that I enjoy muchly.
