How to write a poem

Apparently when writing a poem your not ment to make spelling mistakes

Also you shouldn’t use excessive, over-the-top, superfluous synonyms

And I remember someone told me not to use the word ‘and’ too much,

And they also screeched and preached and told me not to rhyme too much,

they try to reach

Out to my brain in the hope the words would actually

Be taken

In

One ear and stay there and not fall out the other. Then

They said don’t put full. stops in the middle of a

Line and don’t change lines

For no reasons.

And I replied “shut up”, when they said don’t use speech

They said don’t have one massive stanza

So I tacked this stanza on at the end, just to spite them.

They never told me how to actually write a poem.
