Poetry, Learning, and Me
Poetry
That lovely, wordy thing
Has taught me
Very important things.
Poems need not rhyme,
Poems need not make sense,
Poems need not true structure;
All a poem really needs
Is a me
Or a you
And a soul.
Poetry has taught me to be me
And to understand you.
Poetry exists in me and you.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
