THERE IS A POEM WHICH IS NOT A POEM <br /> <br />There is a poem which is not a poem <br />Its mind breaks its music <br />Its heart is too much in thought. <br />It does not sing us to somewhere else. <br /> <br />There is a poem which is not a poem <br />Prosaic confessional flat, <br />Its says its single thing from the soul <br />And leaves the page without implication. <br /> <br />How many such poems have I written <br />As I write this one now?<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-is-a-poem-which-is-not-a-poem/
