This is Not a Poem

Custom User Avatar
More by this author
I’m writing a poem! It has sentences
that end on different lines.
It lacks
rhyme and rhythm.
This poem is also missing some punctuation
it seems more artistic that way






I shifted my poem over here
oh look! now it’s in completely lowercase
letters.
my poem drips of originality.

This is not a poem.
This is an overabundance of crummy words and an exhibition of grammar deficiency.

Haha, this is funny, I like it!  I totally get what you're saying.  Read my "Words for a Poem" if you would, it's on the whole 'writing a poem' topic.

That is really original. You should keep writing and I love Friends too. Joey is my favorite, the simple minded Italian foodie whose loyal and honest, among other other things.

I love it. Kinda reminds me of how the world works. The most popular and famous things in the world come from people do absolutely nothing at all.

Yep, you start out a piece thinking it's going to be terrific, and you get halfway through and it slumps a little, so you change it up,and then you get a little farther and realize it was a lame idea from the start. Sounds like real life, all right.

 

Good work. :)

No kidding! I have started writing so many books and poems thinking it will be amazing, just to have it turn out to be mediocre.

At first I was confused, and, to be honest, a little annoyed. But then when I got to the second stanza (or I guess it isn't a stanza, since "This is Not a Poem, please excuse the lameness of that joke) I thought it was really funny. And I read it again, and it was even better. :D
