That's the problem, in my opinion. Resonance does not equal good poetry, Tom. Additionally, with respect to your above argument, there is no allusion to comparing it to the "walks of life."
This is a journal entry, broken. Please show me valid poetic rational (other than it just makes you feel tingly about your own life), or alternatively, debase further the editor's picks credibility.
Joseph,
Here's where we disagree. For me, the poetry = resonance / length. A construction without resonance is flat. A wordy construction with resonance is flatulent.

Robert Bly said, "a poem should be more than what caused it to happen."
Resonance is important, but not the sole factor for poetic determinance.

Oh man, I feel bad that this has digressed into discussion on someone's posted poem. Perhaps, we should end this and if we feel the need to discuss it further, start a discussion topic. I do enjoy flushing these feelings out, though!
