A good poem exits the poet’s heart, <br />When inspired enough, flowing with ease, <br />In a way emotional, right from the start; <br />When feelings abate, it will tend to cease. <br /> <br />A good poem lifts up the reader’s heart <br />In the same manner, the poet had felt, <br />With attributes right that speak of his art; <br />The reader’s mind, a candle-like does melt. <br /> <br />A good poem’s a musical fine piece, <br />Rhythmical too, whenever it can be; <br />And like nectar to honey-making bees, <br />Giving, feeling of immortality. <br /> <br />Good poems come only once in a while, <br />When writes the poet, from his heart in style.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-what-a-good-poem-does/
