A/N: This was buzzing around in my head a few nights ago, I turned on the light and scribbled it down. My annoyance at what some people call poetry (I don't claim to write any better poetry than that, btw, but I try to). Any suggestions or opinions on the writing or topic would be insanely appreciated, b/c I don't do the poetry thing that often. Reviewz0rz!!!! (Accepting title suggestions.)

What's in a Poem?

So what makes a poem
a poem?
Words on a page,
lines broken
randomly,
disjointed thoughts scribbled on the subway
and flung across the room at the teacher.
It can be total nonsense,
it doesn’t matter.
They’ll all read it and see ghostly meanings that aren’t there.
There must be a meaning,
it's a poem.
The meaning they can’t quite grasp,
not because it’s not there
but because it’s too sophisticated,
too deep.
That must be it.
It couldn’t not have a meaning.
It’s a poem.
