((This was a subject of another blog on my hubpages, I wanted to share this on here too))
Poetry is a subject that isn't favored by many. Often people LOVE to read, but that does not mean they'd love to read a piece of poetry. Not so much that they don't like it rhymed or unrhymed, metaphors or iambic pentameter. Sometimes it just goes over their heads and they don't have the patience to truly soak in what they read.
That's one a lot of people choose to not indulge. Another reason is the cliche that all poetry is love or soft. Not true. The latest book that was co-authored by me touches 1 maybe 2 love subjected pieces. The types of poetry that are interesting and are opposite on the super lame spectrum (super lame, what a phrase.) Pieces that talk about nothing but say a lot, you know...the REALLY over your head pieces. They stimulate your mind and cause you to read them again, and even look up certain words...don't you enjoy a challenge?
A piece that has internal rhyme. Poetry bores me when every piece i read in someones saved library is the same format. AB AB AB AB or AA BB AA BB, mix it up...have fun, make your work colorful not patterned.
A revolutionary poem is always great. One that praises change and triumph. We have been silent on the revolutionary sense; therefore, a piece calling for a difference, pointing out societies flaws is good.
Everyone loves a misleading poem. A poem in which you describe the hell out of a situation, personifying something in your life or in life, and then at the end it refers to something else. People always respond well to those types of pieces just don't overload them to an audience.
The last is a general one, you can't go wrong writing about "Love, Sex & Hate" that is also the title of my upcoming book. Unfortunately, that is all society is truly concerned with, the drama's of those three subjects, anything else and you're a minority in the preference.
