Poetry is the uninhibited expression of the mind’s eye and the heart’s fervor. For centuries, people have been writing verse to demonstrate their feelings, their thoughts and passions. The mystical pen finds its home within the hands of the thousands weaving the intricate details of their world onto paper. For those of a structured mind, the forms of poetry (i.e., Haiku, Bio, Burlesque, Cinquain, Ekphrasis) provide for the ease of thoughts to run free within a suited environment. However it is written, poetry is and will always remain the unimpeded language of virtual thought and feeling. What, then, may hamper the flow of a poetic expression for a reader? Many people have different theories regarding what is ‘good’ poetry and what is ‘mediocre’ poetry. What are your thoughts?

well just like any form of art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i may absolutely love a poem you hate. Is it wrong? no. A "good" poem moves you, inspires you, and touches you in a deep sort of way. At least I think lol
