    Here's some things that make a poem be 5/5:

    *Good rhyming
    *I can relate to it
    *It has original words
    *Keeps my attention
    *Great ending
    *Beautiful title
    *It's detailed
    *Has a good flow

    That's what I think. What about you?

    I like a peom if it captures my heart, my attention, flows smoothly, and uses good grammer and punctuation.

    The things I love about a poem is:

    * A great title ( that is what makes me read them in the first place

    * Good flow ( A great poem DOES NOT have to rhyme..jeez)

    * A poem that makes me feel as though I could see, hear, love,smell, hate, kill, or touch...it doesn`t have to be an object to feel something

    * Finally a great line to end it all

    ~I like to be able to read a poem, and be able to relate it to my life. For example, if I started to read a poem, and it was about like--suicide or something stupid like that, I would immediately close it. I would have no interest at all to read the rest. But if I can relate it to something that is going on in my life, it will keep me interested...

    Personally the thing that really makes a poem great for me. Is the feeling expressed... but if i must.

    *Feeling
    *Structure (rhyme, flow etc.)
    *Originality
    *Ends with something really grabbing

    The one thing that attracts me to any poem, and makes me obsess over it is the emotion that it makes me feel. I haven't yet found one that has made me cry, but whether it be for happy tears or sad tears I'm waiting very patiently to find that certain poem that moves me in such a way.
    As for the other emotions, like anger confusion and frusteration - I have found a few that I can connect with, and it's those ones that I keep going back to.... It's all about the emotion I guess.

    Poetry that would actually attract me...hmm...

    A poem that would attract me would probably not be in this website unless my navigation skills are poor.
    A poem that would attract me would be no poem of mine.
    A poem that would attract me wouldn't make me want to punch the writer in the face for writing the damn thing in the first place.

    That's the type of poem I'm looking for.
