What Are Some Good Poems?

A poem may or may not be good, depending on the reader, the situation and largely, the era. For example, socialist poems do not have much value today in South Asia. On the other hand, avant-garde poems have always found a prestigious stand in Europe, New York and California. The subject of a poem is usually the crux that helps it fit into some part of the world. However, some universally well known works include Shakespeare’s sonnets, E. E. Cummings poems and Bob Dylan’s verses.
