    Poem Commentary

    Some poem formats are pretty freeky. I'm not saying that that's necessarily a bad thing, a lot of times it adds to the purpoise and the coolness factor, but sometimes it's an eye sore. Also, I'm just being a jerk and over exaggerating a point. Satire, if you will.

      My teacher once said
                                                              you don't stop
                                   a poem's thoughts
           until you
                      see
                          the punctuation,
      but I find it can
                               be pretty
                           confusing
    without proper                       motivation.
                  Is the new line
          just
                                        for effect
    or
                          is the author    
                                                        just a 
                                              jerk?
        It seems
                           meaningless
                   and seemingly
                                               a frivolous amount of
                                                    work.
      It can, work the, other way,
            'causing worry, stress, and drama.
      Makes you, wonder; WHAT THE HEY!?
            Why the heck, is that a comma?
      The emotion, sure is gone,
            the purpose, is now lost.
      Your poem
                     may look
                                   pretty cool,
      but I wonder, at what cost?

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
