What turns you off about certain poems?

Usually, I don't mind, but one thing that really bothers me is when the poem is written in all caps.. hard to read
another thing (and this is my personal opinion) is the slang ones. My brother likes them, I don't. Not to say that they are not good or bad.

When it's in caps, that includes title, poem, and a PLZ Comment. I can't stand the ones that can't take two second to write please instead of PLZ.

Definitely capitals, absolutely hate it. Poems with their titles annoy me at times. Some forms of poetry put me off too, depends though sometimes i like reading new type of poems. Thats about it i think. oh one more this is a strange one, but for an unknow reasons i dislike poems with too many syllables on one line, i'm not sure why that is. well that's all

repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating

this is something i use to do a lot in my poems. some lines are ok to repeat but if you have like one word that is in the poem more than four to six times and it's only a couple stanzas long it bugs me.

for the most part the other stuff has already been mentioned.

also i like it when the lines are near the same langth. i also had trouble with this when i first started where one line will be longer then the others. i don't know if that bugs anyone else but it bugs me.

Begging for comments/votes in the beginning of the poem, when it's all in caps, and when they write like their 5, like say dis instead of this, dat instead of that..ect. I can't stand that.

Slang is the worst! oh lord I hate it...I dont mind caps actually it makes it bigger and I can see and read it better lol Im probably the only one who thinks that...also i hate how people start rhyming and then in the middle of their poem write completly different!..or the other way around ....uhh its annoying

I get really annoyed when poems are written in over lapping sentances and also in CAPS.

All of that makes it way to confusing and hard to read.

I also don't like slag... it takes away your audiances intrests and just gets them thinking about what the hell this means...

"OMG! plz lev me a comment n votin on mi poem wuld be nic..."

That's another thing I really don't like...

I actualy do this like a lot of other authers on this site... but when people say...

PLEASE LEAVE ME SOME COMMENTS!!!

It really bugs me... but I can understand if the poem is really important to you, or you need to know what you could fix about your poetry.

That's my oppinion on it all! =]

cutting, when they say "like" for no obvious reason, sp. errors, and "i didn't do a good job... please comment! .... or if u dont vote u will die just like little jimmy..." lol...
