Poetry is Finished
...when it is finished. That's the short answer.
Poetry is finished when you no longer wonder. Is it possible that it's finished and you don't know it? Not usually.
The only way to not know whether poetry is finished is by trusting neither intellect or intuition or by not having a cooperative blend of the thinking self and the sensing self.
Whether you write poetry from a mental standpoint, spiritual standpoint or combination, you finish when the urging ceases.
