i am no poet
does that mean they’re not poems?
up to you, i guess
true poets’ answers
i am certain would be “no”
i will not argue
me, personally
i claim poetic license
and write non-poems
i find the challenge
of thinking five-seven-five
most stimulating
satisfaction comes
in finding perfect wording
to fit the constraints
if this offends you
i humbly apologize
(purists: stop right there)
