E l s e w h e r e discusses the infamous graph.  I think when he says "Jonathan" in this post he means "Josh."  My scheme would more a flow-chart I can't really reproduce graphically:      
Is it the kind of poem I would myself like to write?  
I.  If so, would I do it better or worse?  
A.  If I could do it better, how come I haven't yet?  
(1.  laziness
2.  lack of talent
3.  lack of imagination) 
B  If I would do it worse, what can I learn from this poem?  
II.  If not, why wouldn't I like to write it?     
A.  It's not in a mode I feel to be "contemporary." 
(1. would I have written it if alive 200 years ago?)
B.  It's contemporary, I'm just not interested in that particular mode.
(1.  It's pretentious
2.  .... )
