Like any poems, short forms done badly are shite. The difference is probably that short forms done badly are quicker and easier than the longer poems that people don't have the patience to fuck up properly.
It's probably more common to look at a short form poem and write it off as "I could do that" -- just as people do with, say, a Paul Klee painting. The ignorant have no idea how much work goes into conceiving and then crafting a genuinely fine poem. Fact is, no more and no less effort goes into creating a good example of ANY kind of poem.

It could be worse
