Someone in class today
asked How Do You Know
If What You’re Reading
is Really a Poem.
What is a real poem I asked.
Don’t tell me you don’t know
the answer to that she said.
Anything is a real poem if you
say it is I replied. For instance,
this is a real poem.
No it’s not she replied.
That's the joy of poetry. Your answer was perfect. Sometimes one puts the words down and it's a poem and sometimes it's a story. However only a poem is both.
this is great to meditate on. Thank you.
