Some poets are so arduous to read, droning on and on about whatever instead of just making their point and moving on.<br /><br />(Milton comes to mind, with his roundabout verses careening wildly about before reaching their goal)<br /><br />Of course, there's a flavor of poet for everyone, like Baskin Robbins' 31 flavors of ice cream, and anyone can find something to their liking. (Unless they're lactose intolerant)<br /><br />I liked the 'rage on (at?) the page' quality at the end.
