Wasn't commenting one your writing skills, just your criticism.
Wondering what makes you think in such negative connotation, is it snooty or just rude?
To you maybe, but if your not planning on handing out a grade for it, and its not hurting anyone. It is as you said. Rude. Shakespeare made up the word elbow and now is a house hold staple.

Not all poems rely on rhyme or form some rely on voice and emotional pacing. If it didn’t work for you, that’s okay, but there’s no need to be dismissive.
Well, I do agree that not all poems rely on rhyme. But not everything you write could be called as a poem right? The litmus test is to ask yourself, that if it neatly fits into a prose if you put all the lines of your poem into a paragraph, it’s more prose than a poem. A poem is distinct from them, there is clever wordplay, language compression, distinct voice, etc. but the one presented here reads more like a paragraph, without any of the mentioned traits.
Your critique is noted. Please remember that definitions of poetry vary, and presenting one framework as a standard isn’t appropriate here. Further debate on definitions will be removed.

Straight up slop, not trying to be a jerk but least post it like a prose rather than a poem. This ain’t a poem, please understand that

Doesn’t need to have a degree to write good poems. Just some soul and a good choice of words.

I mean yeah, it was rude but I’ve been seeing such shallow things all over internet lately. Just wanted to let him know that this ain’t poetry
