I think that Comin' Thro' The Rye is not good poetry, poetry is supposed to make you think and make you feel something and this poem didn't. Although, the poem was written in old English, so it was hard to understand and connect with.
A good poem is one that you can connect with, one that you can feel and really think about. A good poem is not a poem that is just made up, a good poem is a story that the author has something to do with. I think that a good example of a Poem is
"This Is My Letter To The World"
by Emily Dickinson

For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!
