A Protest.

Some people think you can write any old thing and call it a poem.
That’s not how it works.

This
Is
Not
A
Poem.

This
Is
A
Protest.

A
Word
On
Each
Line
Does
Not
Make
It
A
Poem
Unless
Each
Line
Means
Something
In
Itself.

Wouldn’t
It
Be
Ironic
If
This
Became
My
Most
Popular
Piece
Of
Writing
Ever?
A
Bestseller,
Even!

  2. Back in the days when I used to send out poems for publication in journals, I came across one called, “The Journal of the One Word Poem.” Never did figure that one out.
