I have to write a poem

Not too long or short.

No required rhyme,

No required sense.

Just a gripping, passionate subject

with flow.

So here goes.

There are poems that teach lessons

and poems that cannot teach anything-

just reveal that which one already understands

but never thought or realized in the deep recesses of minds.

There are poems that aid with common sense

or poems that test your intelligence.

There are poems with no plot

Or poems that are addictive

Or poems that end much too- 

Leaving you grasping what-

the purpose-
