What makes a good poem?

   
   A good poem is for making a connection with the audience through the context within the meaning
behind the poem. Whatever is writing in the poem has to do with the writer and their connection to
the piece. The most effective thing with poetry is that there are many theories behind what the writer
is saying and what the poem itself says to the audience. There is no right or wrong way for poetry, but
if the poem brings the audience to a critical thinking point, then the poem had a deep context that
made it mean something.


    Even Though many of my poems have elements of symbolism, the difficult error I have when writing
is how am I going to connect what I am going through in my head with something else. I need the
audience to not only know what I am talking about, but to also see it. I have to find the things that
connect to me and right about them through a situation that plays through my mind.

    Overall, I don’t critique myself that easy, but with my poem this week I think I did fine. I’m glad
that people liked it. I usually don’t read them out loud to others, but I found it to be a good exercise
and practice.
