Reflecting on the characteristics of poetry that makes it a poem is its ability to carry out and adhere to specific standards of what a literary piece should be  it must have a corresponding to being specific, having a specific tone and a voice to exhibit and address. Here, the characteristics of good poetry resonate in its ability to effectively convey variations of meaning and purpose towards readers. It must not be a blabber of different words included to make a poem. Though not all poetry effectively adheres to standards, the argument provided by Fischer examines the manner of how poetry is conveyed and illustrated to readers. Thus, the basis then of good poetry is its ability to not only relate to the standards and rules but also use it as a basis to create an aesthetic touch to the use of language, however subjective the process may be.

On the other hand, the development of Gary Sullivan and his peers to create terrible poems have evolved into a good one because of their ability to go beyond common norms and expectations in relation to the aesthetics and rules concerning poetry. Since they are usually unconventional, they are often viewed as bad. However, with the proliferation of these works, it has also opened opportunities for other poets to consolidate on these works to generate new means for the appreciation of poetry. Since the judgment for a poem being good or bad remains to be on a subjective tone, the works of Sullivan expanded its scope and provided a liberal element in gauging how Flarf poetry exhibits uniqueness and application of meaning from nonsense.

Similarly, reflecting on the lecture of Snodgrass, he tries to argue that the ability of the authors of the poem to change the themes of the poem as well as changing these states in order to create appreciation of the value of poetry as it relates towards readers. Specifically, he tries to denote the following changes by providing changes within the structure of the poem and can be characterized in different levels from the creation of its structure towards altering the voice of the personaspeaker of the poem. Likewise, Snodgrass also mentioned pursuing changes of how specific or general a specific poem was made. It is in here that he was able to locate specific changes resulting from the process. Due to this, the decomposed poem resulted in a lack of meaning and formalized structure for readers to comprehend and understand. In particular, it showcases failure to create and develop new means of integrating and utilizing these perspectives for showing clarity of intention and failure to generate effective means for transmitting inputs to those who read the specific selection.

The person have shouted yeah
Tag Tag Hurling my wand
Freud shouts you back at
Idiots what you are indeed
Then the laughing stops Silence

Reflecting on this poem, it fails because it does not fail to strike any meaning on the reader. It appears to be a set of jumbled words all piled together to create a poem. Similarly, the voice of the persona remains to be confusing. Though it may have been written in third person, it also showcases one that tackles the first person. At the same time, it fails to establish a strong voice because of the confusion of the persona. Likewise, it lacks different figures of speech because one fails to see the connection from one line to another. All these elements in turn showcase an abstract idea, one that is derived from ones imagination that has no clear meaning and value. They had just been created as a means to convey something towards the receiver. Such aspect then remains difficult to achieve and ascertain accordingly.
