i don't like poetry that makes me work really really hard to understand it, but then i can't, and i feel cheated and frustrated. i guess humans do that too sometimes, but with poems, i feel more defeated.
I mostly run into trouble with poems where intelligibility itself seems to be a non-issue - the poet isn't trying for it, or can't achieve it because of mental static on their end. So I blame a human there too, for sharing if not for writing.
