Five Words


Five Words

by:  Kyle Kramer

 

This line has five words

This line has five too

What if I kept going?

If every line had five

Would this be a poem?

This is getting pretty boring

Stale like year old bread

Why don’t we try something

New?

Poetry is never always the same

It’s unique

A menagerie of words

Mingling together

Flowing together

Poetry is different

Poetry is unique

Poetry is life

If you want to try

You can be a poet too

Just make art like this

Try haiku

You can rhyme

If you’ve got the time

Create a beat

If you can take the heat

 

You are different

You are unique

Your poetry is alive

Your pencil is its heart

Let that heart beat

Create your story

Create your life

Create your poem
