Best Answer

Poetry is the spontaneous outflow of emotions evolving from close observations of things or feelings. When we read a poem, if we feel that the flow of emotions is not spontaneous but laboured, or that emotions are totally absent, or even that the observations are not close, we will think that the poem is not a good one and the poet too. So a good poet shall have the faculty to observe things closely enough to evolve emotions, and to flow emotions spontaneously.

The supreme function of poetry is to elevate human mind. Whatever elevates human mind will also impart momentum to it. That is how poetry helps human mind to take off and land and refine itself. If we feel that a poem does not raise human mind at least an inch higher from the ground, we will think that the poem and the poet are not good. So naturally, the ability to raise human mind through a poem is characteristic of a good poet.
