Much of his writing is in a poetic style, but not all. I wouldn't call his style "preaching", although there's certainly an evangelist streak his make-up; not to mention more than a bit of megalomania. That being said, try The Antichrist. I think you'll appreciate it. Of everything I've read by Nietzsche, I believe I like that one the best. In a way, he reminds me of Jesus. Both men had a way of turning conventional morality on it's head and using inversions of traditional ways of understanding the world in order to arrest the attention of the listener.
