Poetry?

I picked up a new release to check out in the poetry section of the bookstore.

Apparently it qualifies as poetry deserving a hardcover edition book release if you take an ordinary, mundane and boring sentence lacking any shroud of creativity and put three words on one line, three or four more words on a second and third line, skip a line and put a final word or two on the fourth line. Then repeat the process in order to compose additional verses and fill seventy pages ..... Oh that's something else. You don't really have to fill the pages with words. Just a few lines will do.

So let me get started on my prolific literary career!!

Am I too harsh in my assessment? Is there something that I'm failing to see? Am I the only one who thinks the glowing praise for the poets(?) work on the book sleeve is a bit too much?

I do enjoy words and poetry with a collection exceeding 500 books and definitely have opinions on what I appreciate and enjoy. Presentation matters to me. Initial reactions are usually reliable for me. Creativity is huge! Paint a visual! When it appears that you've just carelessly slapped something down, I don't dig any further into it.
