I don't get poetry. It literally looks and sounds the exact same, no matter who's writing it. There are metaphors. Similes. Fancy words you need a dictionary in order to read them. Cool trends and phrases that are outdated now. Like...it's the equivalent of using the word "hashtag" in a poem and then centuries later, some poor kid is going to look at it and wonder why poetry is so complicated to understand. 

And then there's also the small, insignificant fact that I am the least subtle person ever to exist, so whatever kind of innuendo or allusion the poem is trying to do doesn't work on me. So I just don't get it.
