My Definition of a Poem

Poems are stories in a certain form. They are just written different in the way that they have a certain number of lines or a certain number of syllables or things like that. Poems can either be happy, sad, angry or any other emotion you can think of. Rhyming poems are not the only type of poems. The majority of them do not rhyme. There are so many different kinds of poems out there. Haiku, freewrite, couplet, and a ton more. Poems can be about anything the writer wants it to be about. They can be about anything from how your day went to wars around the world. Poems do not have to be about huge things that have happened. They can tell of simple, little things that have happened to you. Most poems have a point to them. Even if it is a hidden message or one a reader can pick out immediatly. Poems have meaning in them. Some really good poems can make the reader feel the emotion the writer put into the poem. I think that's what makes a really good poem. Basically, poems have the option of being anything. There isn't a limit on what it can be.
