What Makes a Good Poem？ A good poem awakens the senses, allowing me to see, touch experience somethingin a powerful way. A good poem makes the ordinary and familiar extraordinary. A poem for children——what makes it good？ First, rhythm is the skeleton that holds apoem together. A strong but still interesting rhythm pleases the ear and tongue. Secondly, rhymecan be funny. It is just a neat way of completing a thought in a poem for the young It is alsogreat for reading aloud, and some attention needs to be paid to the sounds of the words them-selves. Last is the thought and the idea. A good poem captures a certain moment , or memory, like a word photograph. Inone quick reading, a poem can give us a reminder of how it feels to breathe water like fish in astream, of how a mother uses her hand to protect a babys eye. A good poem is a photograph cap-turing the most forgettable and most unforgettable moments in our lives. A poet is a little like a photographer who shoots a subject from an unexpected angle,Even when its subject has been written many times, poetry invites you to consider it from a newangle. The language a good poem uses is similarly fresh, surprising and memorable.
