Nonsense Chinese Poetry  (Capitalize all main words in a title)

Different from traditional poetry, which has strict requirements on rhythm and number of words, modern Chinese poetry is more causal  (do you mean casual?) and thus, funny. Nonsense poetry (废话诗) brought to public view by poet, Wu Qing, raised a debate on poetry in 2012. Many criticized argued that publishing his poems was a waste of papers, while many followers believed his artworks revealed the essence of nature. As a reader, I do enjoy his poems. Let me introduce two nonsense poems to you. BTW, please forgive my poor translation :)

(paper and artwork are non-count nouns in this case.)

Using Google translate, I corrected your translations.  Not sure if mine are right. Capitalize all the main words in a title.)

“Nonsense” Chinese Poetry

In contrast to traditional poetry, which has strict requirements on for rhythm and word count （不说这个专业词的话，该改成 the number of words on each line／in the poem), modern Chinese poetry is more casual and thus funny (Are more casual poems necessarily funny?) . “Nonsense poetry” (废话诗), brought to public view by poet Wu Qing, raised a （推荐你多形容一下是什么样的debate，可以说是national debate 吗？）national debate on poetry in 2012. Many criticized that publishing his poems was a waste of paper (mass noun), while many of his followers believed his artworks revealed the true （true essence 是个规定词语，不知道为什么） essence of nature. As a reader, I personally do enjoy his poems. Let me introduce two nonsense poems to you. BTW, please forgive my poor translation :)
