This isn't a poem at all, I mean
seriously,
There is no poem to be viewed here,
If I was the police I'd be waving you
on saying
"Please move on, there's nothing to be
seen here,
No! there are no poems in this
vicinity,
I'd be holding up a sign "No Poem here, please go elsewhere to view a
real poem",
But I bet some of you out there are
nodding your heads thinking
"Hey! This is something different, this
is really good, yea! really clever
He's saying there's no poem here
It's a poem about No poems
A poem saying it's not a poem when
really it is a poem"
But it's not a poem, it's not!!! (the
author)
But they'd retort "Yea! A poem going
thru an existential crisis,
A poem that doesn't believe it's a
poem
A 'ghost' poem, a haunted poem
The poem that never was
Like a ghost ship floating thru
the mist
Brilliant! I see what you're doing
here
Man, that's genius, High Art,
This could be the best ****** poem
you've ever written!"
But it's not a poem, it's not! It's a
mistake, an error (the author again)
I was just amending an older poem trying to make it look better on the
page
When the Site saved it as a new poem
But it wasn't a new poem, it was an
old poem
So I went in and deleted all the text
hoping it would delete the poem
It deleted the text of the poem but gave the poem a title called "Untitled",
And then people went in to view the
poem entitled "Untitled"
And they found nothing there
And then they got onto me informing me that my poem called "Untitled"
Wasn't showing up on my page
And they thought the Site was acting up.
So I had to write this explaining how
this wasn't a poem at all
But now you probably think
it is a poem
You'll be thinking, "Sure when it comes to Poetry anything goes
It's like Shakespeare, "to be or not to
be
Poem or no Poem, that is the
question"
The Ying... or the Yang.
But it's not a poem, it's not !!!
But then I bet I'll hear
" O yes it is, don't be modest now
What a great poem!!!
No, it's not! "Yes, it is!"
No! "Yes!" No! "Yes!"
You just can't win can you???

Someone emailed me to tell me there was no poem here so this resulted, and now there is a poem here ( O No! there isn't). When is a poem not a poem. PS I think I know what I might have done wrong when amending the original poem (but it's too late now)
