Sorry I`m not looking for a great relationship with you although you are kind of cute,(just kidding Kevin)I just wanted to say I completely agree with you it isn`t always easy to do both but that is one of the things I have the most fun with ,trying to find an interesting way to say whats in my heart,your examples were right on. Thank you for the help.

I think is all a combination of effectively expressing the idea (theme), ideal, and/or sentiment of my poem, and poetic artistry. You want a certain artful eloquence, a fluency of poetic language, metaphors, imagery, and other poetic tools, along with wonderful wordplay and such. But one must remember, no matter how many poetic tools you use, for a poem to be appreciated by a general (layman) audience they must be able to understand or at least follow it. You can still appreciate a well written poem that you canâ��t grasp, that flow well and can be followed, for you can appreciate the beauty in and of art without understanding it, on it merits of beauty alone, but the reader has to be able to see, recognize, said beauty, so one must remember as a poet not to over do it on the abstract, anybody who ever seen some of the abstract art pieces knows that one can get so confounded by abstractness of a piece that what was meant to be shown by and in it gets lost, and the beauty or brilliance that was meant to be seen get berried under perplexity. Itâ��s hard to like something that you canâ��t understand and canâ��t follow, so, as poets we must remember not to make our poems so complex that they canâ��t be followed, and thusly then, canâ��t be appreciated, but to find balance between the two. Your goal is to leave your reader struck with awe not struck with perplexity!!!

Overall, though an excellent topic and wonderful points made!!!
