Is A Poem Not A Poem

unopened boxes
of stationery
that I
will never send
a library full
of books of rules
I’ll never learn
how to bend
isn’t it true
we live our lives
one moment
at a time
and is a poem
NOT a poem
if we don’t
make it rhyme

I think whatever you write turns poetic...
thanks for this one, too!

As much as I hate to admit it... I think a poem is surely a poem... even if it doesn't rhyme... all the thyme...

(smiles) Oh Helen, I believe that you always write such gorgeous poems, for poems are not meant to rhyme, they are poems when we express our thoughts in a creative way! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Rhyme or not, it IS poetry
