Answer 4

Also the way the poem is written. Most poems are written lyrically or with some sort of rhythm or rhyme scheme (though none of those make a poem by themselves). However, what does make a poem good or bad is not just its meaning, but the beauty and way the writing aids in getting the point across. Without that, it's just prose.
