What Is Good Poetry

Good poetry is the sounds of words created and bringing these words to life Picturing the sight’s and even smells in your mind by just reading a few words Good poetry can bring tears and smiles within a few sentences causing emotions It can be Judged as an N/A and yet read by many and enjoyed by many Shakespeare was a good poet when he was alive and became a great poet after his death Through your words you bring thoughts and feelings by others who read it today and yet Tomorrow is another day and in the future you just might be another Shakespeare Shakespeare’s poetry has traveled through time and has brought to many Life through his written words he had no spell check or guidance he wrote from his heart No contest to enter or instant notability through computers, he only used his pen translating His thoughts and feelings turning them into these simple words we call, poetry Never doubt yourself in your thoughts and feelings, they belong to you and no one else’

You said, "Shakespeare was a good poet when he was alive and became a great poet after his death." Why is that???? Greatness should come in life and not in death. Your pen (computer) did a great job....................

I like to say that: "Poetry is Art in Motion!!" Also, that it is fun to "Scribble Outside the Lines" A poet takes minutes in life, moments from the heart- and then places them upon the page. For all to read and feel. Congratulations Bobby, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Some of my best pieces have been NA. I try not to be discouraged and be thankful I ended up with a piece that I am proud of. Sometimes it can be a popularity contest, other times perhaps I over estimate my own skill *lol*. Vanity can be a cruel companion. ;0)
