A poem isn't being a poem without being poetry.
P-o-e-t-r-y.
So how is it a poem, when there is no rules?
N-o-R-u-l-e-s?
Should there be capitalization, pr punctuation?
C-a-p-i-t-a-l-i-z-a-t-i-o-n, P-u-n-c-t-u-a-t-i-o-n?
Or should the reader have to comprehend?
C-o-m-p-r-e-h-e-n-d.
Should there be a lot, or not so many words?
M-o-r-e-o-r-l-e-s-s.
Or should the poem be infallible?
I-n-f-a-l-l-i-b-l-e.

A poem is a poem.
I-t-i-s-w-h-a-t-i-t-i-s
A poem can be anything.
B-e-a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g.
A poem can mean anything.
M-e-a-n-a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g.
A poem is about you.
Y-o-u.
A poem isn't perfect.
N-o-t-p-e-r-f-e-c-t.
A poem is a poem.
I-t-i-s-w-h-a-t-i-t-i-s.
