I believe you are are raising a valid point of concern re: Bad Poetry. Steemit is like the wild west with writers staking their early claim… repressed writers, deep and meaningful ones, shallow ones, random ones, etc… are people using the platform for a voice or just looking to make pennies from their posts? Perhaps there are some poems that are just plain bad but receive positive reinforcement from votes and rewards, creating a skewed sense of belief in the writer/poet… and some great posts receive little attention and votes… Perhaps an objective competency checklist would help? Addressing the principles of good writing skills? What will be some of the competencies on that checklist? Where will imagination and creativity fit into that "objective" checklist? I sense a new post brewing @kayclarity?
