This is not a poem

This is
NOT
a poem
It is simply
a few sentences
which are
unpunctuated
and which
are cut off
at every other
word
or
SO
~_~_~_~_~_~
this is not a
POEM
it has no similie
no
metaphore
and no
spellcheckur
this is not
a
POEM
because there is
nothing creative
about it
BUT
if I can make
it LOOK like
a poem
it must be one
so yay
yippee
look at me
I have written a poem

******************Yes, I chose to put this in the rant category. This is my way of writing about how some things are called "poetry" which really should be called rants. WHY do people think that poetry just has to have some lines cut off every other word or so in their RANT? A POEM will be needing SOME type of word play somewhere... c'mon now....*************************

  You mean to say, that simply expressing oneself clearly and effectively in short, pithy fragments arranged in a non-prosaic manner does not constitute poetry? I can't simply write my feelings down and call it a poem? Word play? word play?!! hahaa.... hmmmm you may have a point here ;) nice post!

  Yes! I agree whole heartedly. The only excuse I have for writing any of my thoughts is that I spend some time trying to make a POEM. speaking for myself

  I do so love the way you phrased all this... While what you say is partially true, I do have to say that not all poetry is perfect rhymes and coupplets. Business aside, I go back to the part where I love this piece!
