what is poetry
burp what is po po po poop
oop-da-doop-pe-try?
where does it start?
where does it end?
who's doing it right now at this moment how many people in the world with pen and paper or maybe paperless, maybe they're looking for pen and paper, in a hurry not to lose that
IDEA
quick got to freeze that thought
and shiver with it,
put on some extra clothes
so waitwherewas I
here.
I am writing poetry right here
I think
it could rhyme if it wanted to
it could sing if it had a voice
and a few notes
and notice I'm not crying
right now anyway
I'm not sad
at the moment
but I don't know what will happen
when we move to a different moment
but then I'll
be there
look around,
see if there's any poetry there
most moments have a bit
B I T E
hey, that tastes good!
extrueeeordinaryeee
true and ordinary
and everywhere
talking
laughing har ha hee
well, that wasn't funny was it,
so it's poetry probably
because it is.
go back
