Why not?

'Cos they're not proper poems. They're pretend poems, written by
would-be poets who cannot muster the linguistic wherewithal to express
themselves poetically. So they just write down highfalutin
gobbledegook that sounds great to the untrained ear. Mind you, I don't
like doggerel, either. Maybe it's because I'm musical.

Well, that's Shakespeare and Milton stuffed for a start...

Ah, Shakespeare! We did The Merchant of V at school and I was dead
bored. ("The quality of mercy is not strained" - well, whaddya know!)
Maybe it was the teacher not using the right intonation...

Personally, I think he's terribly overrated, but it's infra dig to
admit such a thing.

As for Milton, I can't stop thinking of Sir Simon Milton, who has been
in the news a lot recently. But I suspect you don't mean him?
