Bad Poetry?

ok let me flesh this out quick before I forget (and believe me I was starting to come comment 20)
basically for this statement to be true you need to redefine some of the base values of it
firstly, "Poem" becomes "Natural Poem", as in something which is a direct expression of 'poet' with no professional bells whistles swings lignerie sweet secrets.
As such you rule out all intentionally bad poems, however you leave in all the emo-crybaby-attentionseeking drivel that clogs your very arteries and leaves you weak, pale and reaching for the sky with an exasperated scream of "get that bad poetry the hell away from me".
secondly you now need to redefine "Quality/Good/Bad", now technically speaking im sure there are many many dimensional factors that interlink overlap existoutofcomprehension blah, what we need is a system wherein combined with the first change we cannot fail. My suggestion here is to "Romantacize" the ideal of what is good and what is bad, so that the very fact that there is an underlying heart driving the whole affair (be it artificial or bloody) MAKES it beautiful-->good.
And thats how its done! (simply dismiss all "bad poetry" as "not poetry" hush hush)
I apologise for the way this was written, its post 4am, however, as always, my logic is sound. :P
