Mate
Checked my weight.
Wait-

Is this how it goes?
Are there no bounds?
Everyone knows
There’s always more.

But what can one do?
I’m not a magician
I’m just slightly askew.

I’m doing this wrong
Is it this long?

Well how about this?

No

That can’t be right.

Hey Siri:
What is a poem?
I’m getting dreary.

A poem is a piece of writing
Partakes of the nature of speech
The rhyming is exciting
Metaphorical and Melodious each

Exhibits formal elements
Keeps the beat of a Meter
Climbing to the time of Rhyme
And keeps the stanzaic structure.

Now I get it
I feel so dumb
I had a fit
Over something so um
Simple

I can write a poem in a really long sentence.

Or a short sentence.

It doesn’t matter
What I do
As long as I chatter
My meaning to you
