Most hated character of Billy Yoda is, so much alike look they! 
trueenigma,
"I couldn't finish the poem. The tortured phrasing, inversions, and dated diction were just too much for me. I've never understood why some people think such things are poetic."
I choose the style purposefully because it sounds like a fire and brimstone preacher, not because I think the style makes it poetic. If you were to read through all of the poetry I have posted on this site (I'm not recommending that), you would not find another written in this style. In this I was trying to mimic "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Johnathan Edwards.
"We find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth; so it is easy for us to cut or singe a slender thread that any thing hangs by: thus easy is it for God, when he pleases, to cast his enemies down to hell. What are we, that we should think to stand before him, at whose rebuke the earth trembles, and before whom the rocks are thrown down?"
Of course this is a sermon, not a poem.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
