Describing The “not Poem” Poem by Paul Moosberg

Describing The “not Poem”

Rating: 4.8


There’s a poem I want to write
That can’t ever be written
And every time it is in sight
It can’t be seen or smitten

It’s in an un-existing state
Always brings no reaction
Of nothing to alleviate
No thoughts for making fraction

The “not poem” that is not here
Can’t exist or have letter
But reads the same always as clear
Yet can’t reread as better

Hi Paul, Creative poem very unique but a bit confusing. I like regardless. Take care.

There's still a 50-50 chance your not-poem exists - unless you observe it and the wave-function collapses? It may be winking in and out of existence. This makes one think, pointless as that may be. Well-written, and a clever conceit.

An Mmmmmm poem Paul, Not a poem at all? Oh yes it is, I know what you are getting at though, there is always that one poem that will never be. Smiling at this Not Poem title. Ironic as it does not appear! Tai
