Poem Title:
Poem
Is a poem not a poem If it doesn't rhyme Some would state quite clearly It is literally a crime So lets explore, trying not to ignore The many forms that exist Some are common, some are rare And there are some I will have missed There are haiku's and limericks Cinquains and triolets Dizains and sonnets There are villenelles and paradelles Sestina's and rondels Golden shovels and palindromes There are odes and elergy's Pastoral and epics Ballads and acrostic's There are found and couplet Calligram and loop concrete and prose And many more than those But what is abundantly clear And I make it known today The role of a poem Is the messages you convey It has alliteration, communication Imagery and rules It has structure and story Meaning and musical It has pentameter and line breaks Synonyms and verse Length and metaphor A message to converse It is a portrate, a story A lesson on a page A laugh, a tear A philosophy for all age It is couplets and emotion Consonant and noun Song lyrics without music A story that you have found But is it a poem if it doesn't rhyme? Hopefully I can make it clear to see That in this world of chaos Free verse belongs in poetry It is not about the rhyming But the emotion within each verse The pouring of your feelings When your at your worst Its the words that are the meaning The message that we send Not wether we search through thesaurus To make sure the word matches at the end So write about anything you feel And im sure you will now agree That what really matters Is that we all love poetry!
