A poem does not have to rhyme

A poem does not need rhythm

A poem should have meaning

to those who read it

It has been too long

that I have actaully written rhymes

it was in me all along

so it took a minute the first time

two minutes when i thought

days when i wanted it to have meaning

but i know the secret of a poem

can be found when you read it

I tried to rhyme

but instead it lost its meaning

just a funny limerick

i meant to be sad and defeating

so I didnt do my homework

i forgot i had it

my friend said the word 'duck'

and i gave it a whole new meaning

I wanted to add alliteration

rhyming, rhythm, simile and metaphors

but I made my own element

it's called go with the flow

i wrote it down simple

duck are ducks

trees are but simple brezzy trees

i noticed I had added an adjective 

and that each word can change the meaning

I could have wrote

it is instead of it's

i could have emphasized that i was writing the poem

but instead I continued with this poem

that gave me an A

i didnt think it was good

a foolish poem indeed

but after that grade

i turned it upside down to read

it may have taken a while

even my friend doesnt know what it means

but i have concluded

that my poem was about different views

for example voice like thunder

could mean shouting in rage

or maybe like when thunder singals ligfhting and rain

someone was going to cry at the end of the day

I'll give you an sample

it is not yet finshed

ducks are ducks

trees are trees

what is not here

is bothering me

Quacks are quacks

seas are nothing but simple seas

this poem is really bothering me

what is this really?

a pond of emotion

water is water

how can a poem go further?

The answer is simple

there is more than one person

who have a different way of thinking.
