Week 1- What is a Poem?

My definition of a poem used to be something that rhymes. Also I used to think of them of having the same number of syllables in the rhyming lines. I think poems can be about anything. Sometimes a story is being told or just maybe something is being described. I also think of poems as writing down your feelings, sharing how you feel about a certain topic, or maybe just babbling on about nothing to exact. Poems can be written to inform people about a certain topic or just to entain people who would be reading it. I dont think poems have much of a deffintion but more of a personal opinion because really a poem can be in any form and talk about whatever is on your mind.
