Give me credit on “artwork” and creativity
Grade me on my unchallenged point of view
If I put random sentences on the page,
Do I get an automatic pass?
Give me a rule
Give me a guideline
Judge my boundaryless writing
I put an apostrophe and indented
That’s normally against the rules but
I can break any sentence off
At any point
Because this is free verse
Poetry
What makes free verse free verse?
“No rules but write poetry”
What makes it poetry if it has no rules?
All I do is unconventionally write
I’ve learned to not hate poetry over the last few months
But that doesn’t mean I like it but I accept it
Poetry isn’t always supposed to make sense
You don’t have to “get it”
It can just be
It can just exist for no reason even
It can be all about interpretation
There doesn’t have to be anything special about it
But sometimes there is
One person could say
“This poem is about his interpretation on what poetry is to him”
They would be correct
But that may not have been my goal for people to see that
My goal for this poem is of course to pass a class
But all poetry whether you like it or not can find meaning with someone else
There’s no should
No shouldn’t
No couldn’t
Infinite could
I’ve learned poetry
