too short!
When they're less than 10 words and still take up an entire page. Wasteful! It also is tougher to feel anything deeper or have a connection to the author when it's just Instagram poetry

my favorite short poem: "To be alive: not just the carcass But the spark. That's crudely put, but… If we're not supposed to dance, Why all this music?" By Gregory Orr

doing things that an eighth grade english class would dissect if your life were a novel
sometimes it's okay to be do things for poetic reasons in a kind of cringe way. actions speak louder than words, yes, but they can also be just as layered, discrete, abstract, etc.

critical thinking is a skill
Which like other skills, must be practiced. There's reasons certain texts are included in curriculums. Just because you read something, doesn't mean you agree with it. In fact, engaging with the content gives you insight and allows you to form your own opinion. How do you define what your moral guidelines are if you never breach what is comfortable and comforting to you?
