though I'm sure not everybody feels that the best poems are sad; they think that the best poems are the erotic ones by the 14th-century Indian poet Kabir. But seriously, people tend to think that the best poems are the ones they can understand and identify with, and it's not difficult at all to understand and identify with sadness, so it's true: A lot of people think that the best poems out there are the sad ones.
