Do you think someone could ever write the perfect poem?

    By the perfect poem i mean one that touches everyone who reads it, no in the same way of course but that reaches everyone. And should people strive to write the perfect poem? Because I know when I write I just want the you guys, my readers to se me in a different light, to know me not only personally but mentally. So I want to write a poem that touches everyone, but is there a point ot strive for greatness.

    To me greatness is something longed for but never reached. In reality only God is greatness. We recive greatness when we join Him in the holy realm. So should I strive ot be great anyways and long to write a poem that touches all?? Please tell me what you think and feel free to comment on my poem thnxs.

    People should strive for such a goal, as to create the best atmosphere for the poem possible. But as for the question of can it be achieved. No, because there are so many different tastes in people. Maybe many people will be touched, but I doubt everyone can be touched by a single poem.

    I think you should write what's in your head. If it is a great poem, you are incredibly lucky. But if your goal is to write the perfect poem, you will focus to much on that and be distracted from what might be a good poem.

    i think you can try and you should try but to write a perfect poem is not possibel people write poems for diffrent reasons and one poem can not touch the happniess or saddness of evryone but write what is in your heart and you will find the perfect poem for you

    Different types of people react to different types of poems. Just because a poem is perfect in one persons eyes doesnt mean it is in anothers. Personal preferance.

    Writing the 'perfect poem' by your definition would be a truly hard task. Different people relate and feel for different things to one another and enjoy reading things with different atmospheres to one another. I suppose a truly amazing poem would be apreciated by everyone though and would touch them in some sort of way.

    Even if you discover that it is almost impossible to write the perfect poem (because to be honest i really don't know.) it should still be a good goal, because it's like reaching for the stars isnt it? Even if you don't reach it you can still do your ultimate best and improve each time in trying to reach it. :)
    Since it is something you never reach, it provides a reason for you to keep on reaching and keep on trying.
