RE: Dead Poem's Society, Week Two, Contest and Community Building
The question is what gives a poem staying power ... wordplay can indeed help a poem standout but there needs to be an energetic sense of authenticity that allows a poem to endure.
And that is certainly difficult to achieve, @pridefoltz. Also it's something the reader must be able to identify in most of your work, something that defines you (and that they get to like).
