In the view of what is said the contemporary poetry:

Really, I am not interest in the nowadays poetry for more than one reason and let me discuss the matter shortly.
1- If the meaning is excluded, there is no grammar.
2- If the grammar is excluded, there is no meaning.
3- I see the nowadays poems always are short, this is referring to one thing which it is the disability of the writer to extend.
4- The lack of the cohesion, no subject is clear, no verb, and no any item of grammar could be identified to the reference the anaphoric or the cataphoric.
5- Sentences always are uncompleted, so the idea is opaque.
6- The aim of the poet also is opaque since poetry always concentrates the idea about the main notion the poet usually wants to control the light upon it.
7- The lack of the climax and the theme ( the thing which attracts the reader)
8- The lack of the stress i.e. the rhythmical sounds
9- We cannot name three or four verses of free verses to be poem; it is just a telepathic sample.
10- I expect that I shall find good writers but sorrowfully to say the most of them are beginners especially in poetry although I would not save any efforts unless to encourage anyone.
11- In general, the most of poems I read here are just folk lyric poems lacking the rules of poetry and in this way of folk lyric poems, excluding the rules are already.
12- If we supposed that the classic literature was gone beyond history, the objective question always would rise:
Why does the classic literature across all periods till for now predominate?

Possibly this is more the fault of the prevalence and accessibility of contemporary poetry than contemporary poetry itself? I'm sure the victorians sent lots of bad poetry to each other, we just never had to read it.
