Presumably An English Teacher
"What is the meaning of this poem?"
Asks my teacher.
And I silently laugh
Because everyone
Knows that
Poems
Have no meaning
Because poems are
A bunch of
Words with
Atrocious grammar
And misused
Punctuation marks
W
I
T
H strange spaces
in
b e t w e e n .
Every poem has to have a consistent rhythm or it just sounds boring and like a ordinary run of the mill sentence
Rather than a
Beautifully crafted
Epiphany of life
And nature
And love
And death
And everything in
The middle.
Some poems tell
A story
Without needing
A meaning but
Maybe needing rhymes
And tales of great times
But if
A "poem" has a meaning
Then it's just
A short story
With bunch of
Words and
Atrocious grammar
And misused
Punctuation marks
W
I
T
H strange spaces
in
b e t w e e n .
I think
My teacher
n e
e d
s
An epiphany or
I might
Fail this class.
