Not everyone is into them. I like some poems, but they’re not really super interesting to me. I don’t dismiss them as an art form, and appreciate they exist, but I don’t get much out of just reading them. I prefer poetic language in music I guess, though I’m not into poems enough to fully identify those. I know I like songs that tell an interesting narrative with unusual words etc, but dunno if they qualify as poems.

Ironically ‘Jabberwocky’ was published as part of a prose novel.
