poem 5

"Poetry"

Yesterday I wrote a poem that rhymed.
The day before, I didn't.
Most days, I probably won't
because poetry is not about rhyming to me.
It's about writing what flows through my head
in whatever format
I
so
choose
with little regard to the rigid rules of writing such as punctuation or CapiTALizAtioN.
(But I won't go to such extents as e.e. cummings).
To me,
this
is poetry.
