The Poetry Poem
I wanna write a poem
And I wanna make it rime
I wanna make it clever
And still keep it in good thyme
I wanna hide a meaning
Paint a picture you won't C
Don't wanna have to sing it
So this rhyme is not the key
I'm gonna change the wording
Though the meaning stays the same
It's not the destination
But the journey that's the game
I'll add in some enigma
That will blow your mind away
And leave a space so empty
Yet so full you'll lose your way
I'll write a little nonsense
And I'll give some words a home
But mispronunciation?
Well, this ain't the epitome
So maybe I'll be famous
Yes, my name just might be known
And all cuz I'm a poet
And I didn't even realize I was

This poem was so much fun to read! I really like how you wrote a poem about how you would write a poem if you were a poet, and at the end, come to the conclusion that you were a poet the whole time. It's also clever how you inserted literary devices like enigma and epitome in there to emphasize your points. I think this would be a great poem to share with people just starting to write poetry because it proves that just because you might not be Shakespeare, that doesn't mean you can't be an awesome poet. Have you performed this poem out loud? Maybe you should enter it in a live poetry slam!
