This poem
Is not a poem at all.
It's just 10 words strewn upon a page.
It's not clever or heartfelt or a thing of beauty
It's just now 28 words thrown upon a page.
It would be an insult to proper poets to call this a poem.
Some poetry takes years to write whilst the writer finds the perfect words to best illustrate a mood or a feeling. This was probably thrown together in a matter of seconds. It uses no imagery, it wouldn't know a figure of speech if it slapped it in the face. Its just now 98 words sprinkled on a page.

It has no reason, it has no rhyme
It's just a way of killing time
Both in its writing
And its reading.
