I wrote this poem because I was thinking about all the writing contests that schools and other places have. Things like, write a poem about whether or poetry is fiction or non-fiction. I was thinking how horrible some of these topics are the kids have to write. Personally I do not feel that this is real poetry. Poetry is not ment to be bottled up and compressed. Poetry is where you can let loose and let creativity take over. Someplace where you can express your feelings and write about you love or what inspires you. When poetry is limited, poetry is destroyed.
