Deep feelings don't guarantee a good poem,-in fact,. I think it is often
easier to write about things that we don't feel deeply about, or don't
involve us. Too much involvement can warp our artistic judgment. I'd be
very interested to know what others think about this.

I agree which is why love poems and poems about our children are so
difficult to write.
Is it possible to write a better poem about pain when not involved? I'm not
sure, but sometimes suspect it is. Regardless of how close to the subject -
deep loss or puppy love, the poet needs craft or be willing to work for it.
