I occasionally see a don't when reading poetry online. Other times I read poetry that makes me shout, "Yes! Do more of that!" Of course, I realize that some poets can take a don't and make it into a do.
I have changed some of my dos and don'ts over the years. I'm okay with poems that use simple rhyme schemes, as long as the poem is interesting and the rhyme doesn't control it.
Okay, give me your list -- short or long.
Cliches: Do read a lot of poetry so you Don't end up writing like everyone else.
