I dont understand poetry!
It's just a bunch of unnecessarily complicated sentences strung together, with no plot or characters
Well, I guess you're just a fucking idiot, dude.

Either this, or OP just hasn't even tried (which may be a product of OP being an idiot). Read some haiku poetry (Basho, Ikkyu, Ryokan), then Shakespeare, then find an anthology of poetry and you should be fine.
You're not supposed to "get" poetry any more than you're supposed to "get" music.
O P is confused
words together hurt his brain
bleach will quench his thirst

I'd say you can never really "get" either, just understand them more and appreciate them more
