A Poetic Analysis Of Poetry Poem by Catie Belle Stark

Sometimes I feel like my poems are too short,


I could make them a little longer I guess,


But sometimes short and punchy is good,


After all, I don’t want to end up like Walt Whitman,


My God, he’s boring!


Sometimes I feel like my poems are too depressing,


I write most of my poems as my usual happy self,


But sometimes I feel depressed and lonely and in desperate need of an outlet,


But I don’t want to end up like Sylvia Plath,


She went crazy and killed herself,


I’m crazy in a fun way,


Not in an asylum kind of way!


Sometimes I feel like my poems are too damn cheerful and funny,


I’m usually a happy, easily amused person,


But most poetry is dark and deep,


I don’t want to end up like Dr. Seuss,


Making up words and having a ridiculous pseudonym!


But I guess all poetry is weird in one way or another,


I guess I’ll keep myself and my poems pleasantly strange.
