poetry? =]
is this a good poem:
We never truely know,
everyting about someone
No matter how hard we try
how many questions we ask,
all the conversations we have
We can never be completely sure
of who somebody is
and what they want
and how they feel
You can try your hardest
but in the end
you're still not sure
and you're left wondering
what it is exactly
that makes a person so appealing
maybe it's the way
that they keep you guessing
and wondering
about their true colors
and the person they are
and the person they'll become <3
yeah tell me wat you think about it?

Ok whether or not a poem is good is really a matter of opinion. Also, one should put it into perspective, and look at who wrote it, how old the person is etc.
That being said, I am not too fond of this poem. When I read it, too often I felt like I was just reading regular text that had been arranged in shorter lines. E.g. It could just as easily have been "and you are left wondering what it is exactly that makes a person so appealing". This is could just as easily be an excerpt from a letter.
Im not saying the whole poem feels like prose, but I do think it needs to have more of the characteristics/ poetic techniques that usually define a good poem. Im not talking about poetic form here (i.e. pre defined structure), which is totally optional, just of using more of the literary tools available (anything from symbolism to alliteration to use two random examples).
In the end the only true test for a poem is if it invokes an emotional response. I guess Im saying it has not done so for me.
That being said, I can see you are 14. I criticised your work as I would criticise a published poem, so you should not feel discouraged. For your age this is not a bad effort at all and you should definitely keep at it.
