Poetry is as Poetry Does

I've written lots of poems. 
If I think really hard, I can
remember writing my first poem.

My teacher said that nonsense 
won't take you anywhere.
Must be hard being a teacher. 

Sometimes I wrote poems 
just to hear my own voice. 

Sometimes I'd even write  
poems in my sleep. 

Now I've written happy poems
and sad poems. 

Poems about nature and 
poems about technology. 

There's Love poems and 
lonely poems.

Poems about greed and 
goodness.  

Long poems and short poems;
spiritual poems about good 
and poems about evil.

Poems that bring a tear to
your eye and poems that make
you laugh out loud. 

Poems that make you think and 
poems that will make you want
to drink. 

Poems that...that...that...

That's about it...

...and all I have to say 
about that.
