Dancing melody

Unsung

Sweeping harmony

Without music

Saying prose

As if it were song

This is a poem

2.

Words set to meter

Words set to rhyme

Something repeated

At least one time

3.

What is a poem?

A poem is a feeling

A poem is a thought

A poem is inexplicability

Put into words

4. (Inspired by a friend called Renee's definition)

A lot of things a poem can be 
Sometimes they make no sense 
A lot of things a poem can be 
Sometimes a jumble of words 
A lot of things a poem can be 
Usually a meaning is there 
A lot of things a poem can be 
I prefer the ones with a pupose 
A lot of things a poem can be 
Often meant to evoke emotion 
A lot of things a poem can be 
Many times there’s rhythm and rhyme 
A lot of things a poem can be 
Often they a likened to a song 

5. (Inspired by Bridget's definition)

The feelings you feel 
As you write down the words 
Is a poem that’s real 
Nothing else counts 

6. (Inspired by Alecia's definition)

A poem depends on the poem 
It’s often a story or thought 
Its been put into form to be read 
Rhyming is required not 
Usually though 
There is a rhyme 
There’s a flow 
Smoothly through your mind
