I love the poetry of toddlers and babies, teenagers and criminals.
I like all forms of poetry and can't understand why anyone would limit themselves, it seems absurd to me, like not experiencing all the cuisines of the world or all the music, so with poetry, metrical, free verse, modern, old, what's the difference? as long as it's good.

Well said.
