People have always have different opinion on what is more important in a poem. should a poet concentrates on the message he wants to communicate or the beauty of the expression of the poem.
what do you think?

But what of those who write poems for the soul purpose of expression of words and not to communicate any message in particular? i have read poems that is just the beauty of expression and nothing else was in the writers intent. what do  you make of that.
