I'm just responding to click off another on the post count while I wait for the curmudgeon :p
From the perspective of someone who admittedly doesn't quite get it yet, I don't quite get it. :p I like the way disjointed, stuttering (in the sense of skipping words) and impressionist (don't know if its the right word, but yeah) stuff. Every time I try to right like that, it pretty much sucks. Now, to me it's good, but I respect the opinions of the experienced. I know that I must be making mistakes that I can't even see because of my inexperience with the basic rules of grammar- much less the intricacies of poetry.
But I still like it
It's the style of poetry I admire the most. I love the structure and rhyme of form poetry, but free verse is tantalizing to me because until a few years ago I didn't know the difference between prose and poetry.
