and you the original and righteous
weaver of tale and tear.

i personally believe that 'magic' about poetry is that the reader has the liberty to 'feel' 'understand' ' appreciate' the way he/she likes. and the most important thing here is that people generally like to read them 'personalizing' the incident or the topic that the poet discuss. the poetry is not a personal property of a poet. generally the topics that the poets discuss are 'common' to current societies or things that can be seen and obvious in a world village though sometimes he/she discuss personal things'

i tried to think of the 'topics' see the topics you have touch forgetting the content for a moment.
