'Good Poetry' Poem by Linda Winchell

It amazes me what others call
really good or great poetry!
I try to see them as others do
but they don't ever appeal to me.

I don't see their humor, if any
or if they are said to be filled with love.
It's not because I'm without feelings
I just don't get what the poem is trying to plug!

How have all the greatest of poets?
How have they made it to the shelves?
Were they all self published writers?
Did they have to do it by themselves?

I read some poets on this site and others
and most are great, I must admit.
But then there are those which get rave reviews
I guess I'll never catch their poetic drift!
