I really don’t get
The point of poetry.
Is it
To laugh?
To learn?
To use your senses figuratively?
But if that’s the case
Then can someone who has lost all senses
Still laugh?
Or learn?
Or use their senses figuratively?

I really don’t get
How to write a poem
It’s supposed to paint a picture
In the mind
Isn’t it?
Something so someone can laugh
Can earn
Can use their senses figuratively
The Answer is still
I don’t know how
To write a poem
I don’t have a clue
What to do
So how do I carry through?
The answer is so people
Can laugh
Can learn
And use their senses figuratively.
