You call this a poem?
How is it poetry if you have to write it in one ‘format’?
Can it be from the heart if it ‘must contain this’?
How do I say how I feel, when I cannot even use my own words?
Can they grade my emotions?
You call that a poem?
In Language Arts class we have to write a poem about our teachers. You know the kind. 'My mom, taught me to live love learn' yada yada yada. By We have to copy this other poem. I could have five million and two poems for something like that (I might be over exagerating) but not like this poem. Argh. This is my private protest to it.

Yeah, all of my poems don't rhyme or have the ';proper' format to them. But they're still poems.
