When you as a poet looks at the crimson setting sun somebody else feels it is just an evening coming.With your deep essence and sense you as apoet see a spectacular romantic cascade of the crimsom.You dig deep to root this feeling .A poet is just superior with the marvels of nature.

I've found that not all poetry has this deep meaning. It can be simply describing something in everyday life. Sometimes I will read a poem and wonder what I missed when in truth, I didn't miss anything at all. Some poetry is for just us to enjoy the simplicities of life and to recognize them.

Nonsense poetry, for example. It does this deliberately, celebrating the word-sounds and silliness of itself.
Sometimes it is shallow and self-centred to assume everything is 'deep'. If you cannot laugh at yourself, you deny the importance of laughter!

Not all poems has a deep meaning but it always has a Alternate
Meaning

i disagree about alternate meanings in poetry.
to me, poetry is letting someone else understand/see something the way i see it. making them feel something the way i feel it. that is me personally, though. everyone has a different intention, everyone has a different style, everyone has a different reason.
-
I find that pretty much everyone has these beautiful deep feelings. Poets just like to be recognized for them while the rest of us just think 'that's nice. I like that.'
-
Poetry for me comes from articals seen on tv or in the newspapers, or perhaps from something i've heard. Sometimes it is an inner feeling, like for instance the one i wrote a short while back about the tragic event of the space shuttle Columbia, this really touched me.

I think that poetry, in essence, is that emotion that everyone feels put into carefully plucked words. Everyone feels it; we however, choose to record it in a pleasing manner, in a futile attempt to match emotions' majesty, which is sublime in nature and virtually impossible to accurately transcribe.
I'm not a big fan of 'nonsense poetry', but I think a good poet should be able to write something beautiful and have it be amusing as well. A line in "The Raven" by E.A.Poe had humour. While I prefer the mentally aesthetically pleasing verses, I delight in seeing such a, usually, serious soul as a poet include some sort of light-heartedness in their works.
I also think that most poetry should have an underlying meaning, make the reader delve deeper into the poem, beyond the words, to breath in the true being of it, but nowadays it seems that the same "most poetry" is to be taken at face value and as an effect, readers expect it to be taken as such. That is a hard pill to swallow when one spends, at times, weeks working on a single poem only to have people say "they didn't get it".
I don't know... that's only my opinion. -
'meanings' like feelings have a myriad of interpretations - real poetry enables the poet + reader to communicate with what i term as the 'other' - a realization achieved only occassionally - para ejemplo: when i write the declarative sentence - it is raining - we all know exactly what it means - AND - when i write - it is raining in my heart - all of us have different visions/versions of what i have created - good/great poetry affects/effects us in the same ways - BUT ALL OF US SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY.
-
no, i don't think that every poem is deep. I wrote a poem about a cheeto. I thought it was pretty good, and by all means not deep.
-
It all depends. I think deep is a vague term. Everyone has a different meaning for the word. Not to mention that not every poem needs to be deep. Sometimes simple poems are better. I think it's all and opinion thing...or maybe it depends on your mood.
