(please note i have nothing agenst rhyme schemes, i just got into an arguement with a teacher who hated them, and thus....)

My Poem


This is a poem, I swear
There are no fancy words, no AP devices,
No sing-songy rhyme schemes to hide my
Incompetence
But I say it's a poem
And it is

It is because my heart is here
My feelings and thoughts, all free to be read
Tucked inside a plain-looking book
That's almost like a diary

Here, you'll find no Shakespeare
No Piercy or Poe
This poem is mine
I wrote it myself

I hope you enjoy.

Though my poem may be plain,
It sure does say alot.

An original, modern approach to "ars poetica." There's is little said and much implied. A very good poem.

Thank you for the kind replies! I was debating whether I liked this poem or not... usually my poems are pretty much drenched in AP devices just from habit so it was actually hard to avoid them here ^_^
