Poetry
Is not your most common sight
But the most unusual delight
Some poetry
Comes and goes
In neat little rows
Others yet
Scramble it's
Words
Some poems
Aren't what they seem
Others say exactly what they mean
Some poets
Are archaeologists
Digging for the remnant of a long lost being
Some poets
Are photographers
Taking in what is seen
Not all poems
Though
Have rhythm
And flow
But all poems
Are in their boats
Sent here by their authors
To run the ships
And tend to the goats
And be what they be
And do what they do
Poetry is whatever it is to you

Not my best work, I feel. A friend of mine said he didn't like poetry, or poets, that they're all arrogant and pretentious, little does he know. I made this to show what poetry is and isn't, and how it's both. It really is whatever you want it to be, and it by far is not one exact thing, and cant ever be wrong.
