definition of a bad poem

Louis Simpson (author of Pulitzer Prize-winning "At the End of the Open Road") said: 

"When I write a poem, I don't know quite what it means. If I think I know what it means, I've got a bad poem. I want a poem to be beyond me. I want it to be something that transfers a feeling I don't quite understand the limits of."
