Long poems or short poems?

Do like longer or shorter poems better?

LONG. Unless i'm in no mood to read or if its a funny poem then obviously short.

Whether it's long or short doesn't really matter to me...it's the content and how well the point of the poem is conveyed.

well it really depends on the type of poem it is. Really long ones just annoy me at times because ur sitting there going OK we get the point end it now n then really short ones r like well that was to short and you never really got the point of it and then u have to deconstrute it and still never get the point while long ones r just 2 long n u dont even want the point of em so i think like they have to be medium long enough to get the point across but short enough so u dont get all bored and annoyed at it

i would really perfer a short poem with great/wonderful meanings.... then again, i do like reading long poems

The writer has to be REALLY good for me to stick around for a really long poem lol

I love reading sonnets...I wish more people would write them...

I like both...if its clear and it describes well, its good for me!

Both have their uses. Short poems are good for disconnected thought that you want delivered short and sweet. Long poems are for more flowing, eloquent lines that tell a story or carry a certain message. I prefer longer poems (morethan 20 lines) because for me, they tend to have the capacity for more thought and emotion. Other, more skilled, writers could do just the same with a shoter poem. But it is merely my own preferance.

I love reading both!
When I write I prefer writing shorter poems.

Hmmm... I dunno. I like both.

Shorter poems are harder to make. because its harder to get an idea out in only 5 lines.

I like both. If the poem is well structured and written it can be long or short. It does not matter to me. It is the craft of the poet that I like to see.

Yes... I like usualy reading long ones better... They are fun... But If the poet isnt any good, then its not fun to read them

I like long poems better

Personally, I don't care....I like long as long as the person doesn't ramble on...and repeat things, i like short...as long as I can understand it

Short

well well well...
short poems are what i like
but they must have good meanings!!!
long ones are also accepted cuz sometimes they're full of adventure and nice expressed words!!
so both can be great :)

depends on the style. i don't like when a poem goes on forever. but i don't like when it's too brief either.
