Is this a peom, a pome or a poem?
Definitions:
1) Peom: A Newbie attempt at poetry. (Source: Elaine P)
2) Pome: A lighthearted composition in poetic form. (Source: The Poets of Mars)
3) Poem: Composition…characterized by the use of heightened language and rhythm to express an imaginative interpretation of a subject. (Source: Random House Dictionary of the English Language).
Poems can run the spectrum from poor to excellent.
Trapped
by Elaine P
Blinded by poetry’s radiance,
enveloped by incandescence,
I strive to enter its closed cosmos
with heartbeats of the word.
My contrary pen spews clots of ink,
spreading black upon my page,
dark matter drawing me far down
into eternal night.
The poet challenges me to soar
free, untethered beyond the edge;
but I am trapped in a black hole
of human sapience.
Yup, as they have said above,
and below, excellent.
Lay on, MacPoet, but ho!
don’t spend a lot of time
with more
“poems about poems”.
Get out there with the squirrels
and grass blades.
Oh, and pome is an apple
or a pear.
