Purpose
Poetry has no meaning to me
It doesn’t seem necessary
Why not write to be straight forward?
Why not write bin complete sentences?
This is poetry for some reason
They say poetry has no rules
Than what makes poetry when it has no guidelines?
I’m told to be creative and then graded
Why be graded on something with no rules?
Anyone can say anything is art or poetry
As loving as they say soi
Poetry is about point of view
Perspective
But I’m being graded on it
It feels conflicting
Why is poetry poetry?
Poetry feels like an excuse for bad writing
Regular writing is just as descriptive
But why jumble my sentences and call it art?
Poetry may be bad writing
Writing may be formal poetry
They’re different somehow
But are made almost identically
Why is writing writing?
