A: You have understood and applied various and effective poetic techniques into your previous draft and it shows. Your work is considered "art" - original and exciting!
B: You have understood some basics about poetry writing and techniques. Your poem is improved, but it isn't there yet. Perhaps it doesn't communicate an idea or tries to cover too much ground. Whatever the case, it falls short of "masterpiece." But you tried. And that's above average.
C: You knew you wrote a poem, but are ignoring the tools and poetic techniques to make your work communicate effectively. Perhaps your piece is slightly better than your previous one, or you made another laundry list and called it poetry. You did the assignment (probably without joy) and you get an average grade for an average effort.
D: Your work is late, incomplete, or below grade level and the writing you "crafted" is probably only a "c" level. You can't be bothered traditionally with writing poetry. You don't understand it or you don't like it and your own work shows this clearly by being cliche, not effective, or just plain--blah. You put a tiny bit of effort, (you turned something in by the absolute deadline) but less than the average person or student.
F: You didn't complete the assignment. Can't be bothered. I can't be bothered to give you more than an "F".

Creative Well Went Dry? Talk to someone. Learn something new. Read a poem or a book. Inspire yourself. Lower your standards for just this once, until you have a draft written--then engage in the crafting process.
