A successful poem has a completeness to it. I think the reason forms, meter, rhyme maintain their interest for poets is that they are a beautiful set of bones. A strong skeleton under a piece can pull the reader along in a satisfying way. Ideally, the poem surrounds it and the reader only sees it when they think Why did this work so well? It's tough but fun to try, and when it works you have something stronger than its parts.
