My Confusions
May 7, 2013
I just don’t understand.
How is this piece a poem?
There are no rhymes.
There is no meter.
Still somehow it’s poetic.
I think it is a little ridiculous,
how this counts as a poem.
I just don’t get
what makes this better than an essay
Maybe it is because it looks shorter.
No one wants to read a paper,
but this ‘poem’ looks like no big deal.
I think I’m starting to get it.
What makes a poem a poem.
If it sounds good,
If it reads well,
Then it is poetry.
If you have ideas,
If you want to write,
Then a poem like this will do just fine.
