Middle-high grammar and vocabulary, non trivial subject. The strucure could be whatever but always well-thought out. As for the emotional part, the minimum I pretend is to feel like the author actually gives a shit about what he's writing and doesn't reduce the poem to mere fancy prose.

Whatever you may think: DON'T WRITE WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE METER. FREE FORM POETRY IS JUST SHORT PROSE.
