The people in my class analyzed poetry
With finely sharpened pencils
And color coordinated pens.
I don’t understand.
Love is a four-letter word
Accompanied by a hashtag before it
And an idyllic image of feet and hands and sun and sand shortly after
Love is a catchy little tune
They want to understand me.
They want to know how I work.
They want to cut me open and see my gears
Turning and turning.
They want me to tell all my secrets,
Tell my every thought,
A poem is-
nothing.
Why does a poem matter?
Because a poem is a piece of the self
Even a comical limerick
Yes,
Anger calls out to you, and addresses you with full confidence
Needing that aggression to feel accepted, feeling out of place otherwise.
In the lovely poem Annabel Lee
The author rhymes his infatuation
The angels kill her because of envy
All the same he loves her weak expression
Look beneath the sly words and anapest
As I present myself to you
As I walk away askew
May I ask some questions too?
To make these vivid flames anew?
