Is it the layout on the page Or, a pretty word to calm fears Or, to stir emotion Or, to put you in-between? Does good poetry sound good? Are its iambs and pentameters in perfect mode? (or, is it form?) Is it a sonnet or a villanelle? Does it rhyme or unrhyme, And can it have the rhythm, And not have the rhyme? Is it sexy, seductive, sassy, and sweet? Or, is it conserve-ed, passive, humble and bleak? Don’t ask me to define a good poem For all the world could not contain its potential And no author, nor critic could pen, or contend its true definition. What is good poetry? Let the poem decide.
