Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Poem


I
All I can see
Sentences changing
To poems

II
I was shocked
Like a breathless fish
The poems are there

III
The poems are everywhere
They flow in the books

IV
A word is a poem
A poem is a word
Both of them are the same

V
I do not know the difference
The function of the words
Poems are dancing and flying

VI
They are mysterious
They have shapes
You can see the difference
They are pure
They are poems

VII
Why do you read books?
Isn't it true you see poems.
can't you imagine the words talking
expressing feelings of a person

VIII
I read the books
I see the sentences
All I observe are the poems
That keep coming into my mind

IX
The poems talk
They have feelings
They tell stories

X
Flying in darkness
Crying of pain
Express your feeling
Let it out into a poem

XI
Is it easy to write a poem?
Yes, just take a pen and a paper
Flow your feelings in
Let people feel you
Let the world know about you

XII
The poems know you
You know the poems

XIII
It was evening all afternoon
It was sunny all afternoon
I was writing poems
Making everyone listen to me
Poems listened to me
I listened to poems
