"All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling"

Oscar Wilde was right on the money with that quote.

However, in my opinion, good poetry springs from genuine feeling, too.
The only difference is that good poetry doesn't rely purely on emotion and is properly edited.

Here's a little poem I wrote that sprung from a genuine feeling of pain:

Papercut portal... 
stinging
scarlett
stream
escapes 

my pinky &
leaves a
bloody streak 

on a
perfumed 

love letter.
