How Do You Make a Great Poem, Poet???

How do you make a Poet???
Just what does it take?
When a poem is great, you know it,
but a 'great poem' how do you make!!!
Is it in the emotion, with which it is written,
or should you prize rhythm, rhyme, and flow?
Should you take care, with each verse, line that is written,
or just simply, let yourself go,
and bring what's inside out.
Is a great poem nurtured or does it just sprout?

How do you make great poetry?
Won't somebody tell me!
Is it all about symmetry,
or feelings held, so deeply,
that harbor, in every word?
Is it born of the mind, or is it the heart's work?
What is the secret?
I ever seek it,
And I bet, you seek, as well.
What's the best way to write great poetry, what does a great poem entail?
What gives a great poem, such magic?
What's the difference between a poem that does and doesn't have it?
Such conundrums confound many, to this day.
How do you write great poetry, great poetry, how do you make?
To be great, I think, we all are motivated,
So I ask, once again, how do you make a great poet!!!

~~ A delve into the debate, as to, what makes great poetry. Some prize true emotion, a genuine expression of ones feelings, ones own truth, while others prize artful craftsmanship, the congruence, in and of a poem's rhythm, rhyme, and flow. Which method makes for better poetry, I don't know. The debate rages on, and the question still lingers. How do you make great poetry, how do you make a great poet??? ~~
