a response to lesson 4

what is a poem?


a poem is anything and everthing
so might use it to sing
you can right a poem when your mad
or sad

you can right a poem about a poem
in your poem or about some foam
you can right a poem about a squeril
or about that lovely girl

you can right a poem anywhere
even when you have a scare
you can right the boogyman
or that guy in the closet named stan

so express your self
write a poem about your self
keep your head in a cloud
so write a poem to make me proud

  1. Where'd you find that? Wonderful! I guess poetry is like when smoking was legal and you could take a smoke break anywhere, anytime. Poetry is the thing now and though bad for the health, there is little danger of "second-hand rhyme".
