apply to one of my pomes the questions posed by teacher dawn hogue in What is a poem made of?

is it possible or desirable to do this with pomes of my ilk?

are there other questions that might be posed for pomes of my ilk?

does the degree of resistance to these questions by my pomes validate or invalidate them as poems? mark them as “good” poems or “bad” poems?

i suppose this all comes under the query: “Are these poems workshopable?”

(preliminary reply: well, they would be if the workshop shared certain (the same) poetic principles/methods with the poet)

what are those principles/methods?
