What makes a poem good?

Why would that make your poetry bullshit? My point isn't just aobut the writer, it's also about the reader. The Laziness is both ways. A reader too lazy to fathom the writer's intent, and a writer too lazy to write clearly enough that an audience can undersatnd it. Your poems are coherent. If they lack anywhere it'd be in technicque and at times artistry, both of which you have been growing for years. You are significantly better now than you were a year or two ago. And you're moving in the right direction. So.. no bullshit.
