Which Is Most Appealing In A Poem?: Pictures, Sound, Message/ Meaning? by Iwerebor(m): 5:20pm On Jul 04, 2007
Sounds, images, meaning all affect the reader in different ways. Which is considered the most gratifying to you as a reader or a writer of poems?

I believe I achieve maximum impact when I write in this order: images, meaning, sound.

I have for instance these lines in my draft:

These ones floated into my head and I grabbed them for their sound effect, I absolutely am not sure what theme to apply them:

With one click
They complete the trick

And these for picture, looks political:
Somewhere,
Oil is flowing
Poverty is following

Somewhere,
Hunger is roaring
A leader is snoring
,
I know this has sound but the picture to me is the strength
