How do you write a poem?
I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing
Do I just keep hitting the return key after every sentence?
Is a line break between two stanzas like a paragraph?
So anyway,
Poems are really ridiculous.
I don’t see it as writing
Even though it technically is
Because
Doing
Things
Like
This
Is somehow allowed
And I can,
for some reason,
write
LIKE THIS
and make thewordsdowhateverIwant them to do
AND I Can Make Every Word Start With A Capital Letter
or a lowercase letter
and I can start every
“Sentence” with some odd word
that would usually give me a headache
Due to lack of proper grammar
Which most poems have
I can shape it
With patterns
an
d
Have letters in different p l a c e s
I! Can! Also; place pointless…punctuation?
Even if it doesn’t
re
ally
fit
“I know that writing is about creativity”
And let me tell you
Poetry is creativity
‘But’
In my opinion
It’s creative in a bad way’
The only way that creativity can be bad
and I feel as if
it takes
more
to
Write a story,
Whether it be a short one;
Like a short story,
Or a long one;
Such as a novel,
{{Because every word needs to make sense}}
And stories are more powerful and touching and motivating
Or not motivating!
And stories can impact someone’s life –
Especially when the reader finds a connection with one or more of the characters
Especially if the author also
finds a connection
With one or more their characters
But poems:
Are just moments,
That the reader,
In my opinion
Can’t take away from
Or learn from
And I have proof:
I have never been motivated
Or touched!
Or changed!
By a poem
And I’m sorry if you’re insulted by this!
But,
according to poets
Poetry is about expressing yourself…
And I’m doing just that
I’m expressing how I feel
I’ve been told that my writing is poetic –
(But I don’t agree)
Because I hate that word
Because it can mean so many
things
[Technically]
I could say that this is poetic
{and}
I could say that the most
Heartfelt and amazing simile or metaphor
Is also poetic
And both
Are completely different things
Sure
I could type up one or two
Really good “poetic” lines
And ?it could be considered a poem
The lines don’t! even have to relate
As I’ve noticed in times before when reading other poems
And hearing other poems
And it would be an amazing poem
If that’s even possible
But why would I do that
If I could use those lines in a story?
Where the lines are taken to heart
Where the reader carries those lines with them
Where they associate that line with a character
And where it means something more than just a really good line
