The only good poems in the world
Are those that leave no words to say
The only poetry that counts
Are those that take your breath away
The only words that really matter
Are the ones on your mind after today
The only rhyming syllables of great
In your heart, they stay
The rhymes that sound as music
In your head they play
The most meaningful of messages
Are those that help you on your way
The words that really blend together
Keep thought and feelings in delay
The works worth being recognized
Representing some obscure cliche
While repeating in your mind
Leaves a deeper message on display
The only great poetry in the world
Leave unthought words to say
Are those that leave no words to say
The only poetry that counts
Are those that take your breath away
The only words that really matter
Are the ones on your mind after today
The only rhyming syllables of great
In your heart, they stay
The rhymes that sound as music
In your head they play
The most meaningful of messages
Are those that help you on your way
The words that really blend together
Keep thought and feelings in delay
The works worth being recognized
Representing some obscure cliche
While repeating in your mind
Leaves a deeper message on display
The only great poetry in the world
Leave unthought words to say

I'm not quite sure this is really Philisophical...but that's what I thought sounded the best. So, this is a poem (I have a lot of poems, get used to it) about...what a real compliment is. What really good writing is.

punctuation would help the flow of this poem be not so sing songy and help it feel more natural and less stilted.
personally- i've never liked the look of poetry being all couplets, but thats more of a personal opinion than anything else.
