Good

A good number of folks agonize from the sporadic dreadful nightmare, and others appear to experience them nightly. Nightmares can sometimes be accidental makings of the subconscious with no specific profound explanation, but in numerous instances, they do have precise origins behind them and let you examine deeper into your feelings and state of mind to better measure mental or sensitive state.

What is a good poem?
A good poem is a slip-of-a-thing
that celebrates language, that takes
you on a short journey and touches your heart,
turns on your imagination, or tickles your funny-
bone somewhere along the way.

Excellent

If only it was :)

Excellent, and I really like the image, too.

Nothing really to suggest, a very strong poem as it stands.

Take care.
