I love original poetry, but sometimes I feel like poets ruin their work by doing weird **** with their form and layout.  There are a lot of poets out there who are clever enough to pull it off very well, but there are even more that just can't, and they sacrifice some of the best words I've ever read to a gimmick.  It's sad really.  Good poetry is art, but if you want to paint or draw, then do that.  Don't **** perfectly placed palabras with weird line breaks, spacing, and alignments that make absolutely no ******* sense and ruin the message.  It's all about the message, man.  You dig?!
Just really had to get this off my chest.  Not really picking on anybody specific.  Take it as constructive criticism.  Said with love...
