like any craft. it seldom gets mastered completely. i feel lucky that i managed to do two poems (i think) that were actually something i was proud of, let alone good. AA is a good example; i heard one of his songs and it's a lot better than average. it even sounds professional 
in general though the majority of songs done by unknowns and wannabe pop idols are shittier than our worst poetry hehe. i think the underlining thing we all have in common is that most have tried to write a song and most have tried to write a poem. in general our first attempt sucked hairy balls.
not just saying this but on this site we have some good singer songwriters and some good poets that we can measure ourselves against. and may i add, it's no shame if in doing so we come up short. it only shows us how high we can aim and how much we can achieve.
