Dream but take it back to realism then
A poem is just genuine, when you stay true to yourself.
Poems of different forms do exist:
Very sad ones or positive,..
You express and tell a moment, but additionally be your OWN created life capturing.
You don't need to follow any structures, rules or feel daubted when you notice or think your poem isn't good enough because it has not this or that;
then don't change it!
But add another one, write plenty and then you will learn.
The best you can do is learning from yourself.
If you are struggling by writing about something very uplifting, then go on, it's okay.
Everything either way has it's benefit in the end, even happy moments.
Even happy moments can have upcoming coincidences, advantages, disatvantages, perspectives, left with a gut feeling, seem selfish and untrue.
But remember: You can either tell the truth or a fairytale.
Just let them be raw.
Let your mind run (your ideas, what you think, but felt in the moment: there is no right or wrong), but don't listen to rules.
The serious part will follow by itself.
