Today a poem should be read while on a train
A poem should be painted on crystal glass
A poem should talk about past experiences the kind that makes one smile and occasionally cry
A poem should infiltrate all the minds of the teachers and turn them into zombie soldiers
Once read out loud a poem should make your ears ring with joy from hearing each line
A poem would have made me sad
A poem is the only antidote to boredom
Some people know how to dance, run, fight, and, be pleasant
A poem is a waste of time that you can't get back
Once upon a time
Poetry wasn't poetry it was just another way to keep track of one's feelings like the pages of a dairy
I loved your line "Once read out loud a poem should make your ears ring with joy from hearing each line". This was easy to imagine and your language resonated with me because its very visual.
ReplyDeleteI like the line "a poem should be painted on crystal glass" it really brings up a pretty image like a bunch of colorful words put together to make a stained glass.
