Can This Be Poetry
Can it be poetry
If it makes no sense?
Can it be poetry
If it has to be explained?
Can it be poetry if it rolls around moaning and groaning?
Can it be poetry if it is mean and distasteful?
Can if be poetry if it is unsure of itself?
What if it is unready to be shared?
What if it is incomplete?
Can it be poetry if it is slick and sharp?
What if it hurts my feelings?
Is it poetry then?
Who gets to make the call?
What if even the poet is underwhelmed?
Is it poetry then?
