A poem (Sketch Page)

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

  1. 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.

  2. I 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.
