What is a poem?
December 22, 2021
When you think of a poem
What is it you see?
Do you see Earth's wild
Animals running free
Or do you think passion
The darkness and fire
Or maybe tornadoes
Sweeping you higher
What about rainbows
Innocence and beauty
Possibly of fighting
Soldiers doing their duty
Do you think of rhythm
And words ever-flowing
And all of these lovely
Images I'm showing
Do you see order
All the lines in order
Or do you see chaos
The rules are "no border"
The answer is different
for all who will read this
And my answer's simply that
"poetry is bliss."
