What Can Be Poetry?
by Della R.
Can poetry be sweet as sugar?
Like a cake you get on your
birthday, like how Mom used to make.
Can poetry be a song that moves
like the wind? A melody that came
from a piano thud moving like a
dance that twists and twirls around you.
Can poetry be a way to tell a story?
From growing up living life all the way
from finding her first love to her
heartbreak to her marriage to divorce.
Can something so small tell a
story, song, or something sweet?
Yes, it can.
Poem 1
by Patricie C.
When will the world end
when it’s sick of us
or when we have killed it.
Why do we dream
to distract us from our problems
to protect our minds from this corrupt world
to find peace in a worrysome time.
Why am I here
to try and get knocked back down again
or to push through and still feel like I haven’t made it yet..
Evil Poetry
by Randall P.
Is there such a thing as evil poetry?
Evil poetry shoves you in a locker and gives you wedgies.
Evil poetry is just poetry, but evil.
Evil poetry greets people with “Bad Morning!”
Evil poetry eats scary pancakes for breakfast.
Evil poetry is the reason why the boogeyman stays
under your bed and never comes out.
Worst of all, evil poetry doesn’t care about immigrants’ rights.
