tecktak did a father dies poem and that's the style of stuff i enjoy. i enjoy clever nonsense poetry that can be interpreted by all in a similar fashion. some nonsense poems are too far gone for anyone to understand em.
i'm also eclectic. while most of the poets i like come from the 1st three quarters of the last century. like addy there are certain types i skip over, which could be seen as a bad thing. i'm not keen on Dickinson enough to skip over her, unless it's a poem of the day; i read all those. some of the classics by Shakespeare, Milton etc also get skipped over i'm not sure why, as i like a lot of they wrote. maybe the question should have been; Why do you like the poetry you like?
