What is good poetry?

Good poems should be able to lift the reader out of the ordinary and provide them with the sense of reality. Good poetry is poetry we can feel identification with. One we can realate to and truly connect with. 

Poem's I Enjoy

The poetry I enjoy is one's written about hope. I enjoy them so much because they provide me with something to cherish. Why hope is so important to many peoples lives because we cannot advance in our life with out hope. We cannot establish fulfilling realationships without hope. We would never reach our full potential and discover our purpose in life without hope. Hope is the feeling of finding a solution to a problem, the rainbow after the storm, and the light after the darkness.

Hope:

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” 
― Bil Keane

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” 
― Shel Silverstein

“You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.” 
― John Lennon

“Hope is the thing with feathers 
That perches in the soul 
And sings the tune without the words 
And never stops at all.” 
― Emily Dickinson
