But Is It Poetry?

When people look at paintings where,

They don’t recognise the form,

The thought that comes from in them says;

“But is this really art?”

Can they not see the idea that

The artist tries to show?

Why don’t they open up their minds

And think of what they see.

So when I write words on the page

That neither rhyme nor scan

The thought may therefore come to some

“But is it poetry?”
