What is a poem



A poem is words, about how you feel,
or something silly, like a banana peel

Words that encourage, or make you mad,
the kind that enlighten, or bring out the sad

Fear of something, or being brave towards another,
or the devastating effect, of losing an other

Something to explain, or things that go zoom,
items to look at, or others that goes boom

An event that occurs, or a heroic tale,
a video game you play, or a mighty gale

Write all the words, that you want to say,
just make sure to always, have a good day
