My English teacher says
all poems are deep and complex
and all poets formulate poems with careful scrutiny
over the course of days, weeks, months
But I say
there are beautiful poems
that take hours to write
and there are poems that spill over from the heart
and onto the page:
the poems that we write through tears, sobs, hysteria, glee, laughter, sunshine, rain
All poems were not carefully formulated
but they're all beautiful regardless
