On Poetry Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

On Poetry

In reading for learning,
Classes kept pending,
To be sure all went right,
Poetry captured mind.

Prof said, explained,
Enlightened, cleared:
"Consider rhyme, meter,
Ambiguity, if needed,
Be concise, short is best,
Cut from useless length,
Use simile, metaphors,
And tropes, then figure,
Paint image, deliver …"

Then summed up:
"This is the poetry."

So many junks, nonsense,
I write and feel ashamed,
Do not feel like poet!
