The Non-Poem Poem

As much as I like writing, I’ve never really been that into poems.

I was always told that the “perfect” poem had rhyming in it.

Well, I’ve never really been much for rhyming

Any more than I was able to master writing with correct timing.

Never could I make a line with a beat.

Or make a poem

Flow as smooth as a river

And count syllables.

Which is why I gravitated towards free verse,

A way of tricking people into thinking I can actually write a poem.
