Can I define what makes a 'good' poem? Would it do any good to say what I like, dislike or am indifferent about? If I made a list of all the things I love in poems and someone followed it religiously, it might still fall short. It's more complex than a formula.
What is important for me, excluding mechanics, style or other specifics, it's the message and is it conveyed to me effectively.
When I write poetry I try to include universal theme and it's either polluted or enhanced by my view, my language, my style and technique choice or my mythology. It can work or not work. Be written once or rewritten dozens of times. My audience or readers are free to love it or hate it or not care.
It's all opinion.
