what is poetry?
by Meghan Helmich1)
fleshing a memory
that has only bones and strings.
2)
a photograph smudged with fingerprints,
wiped clean and smartly-framed.
3)
an infancy of emotions
watching its own lifespan. 06/27/2008 Author's Note: so, i actually did three pairs of two. i hope that doesn't disqualify me! "Challenge one: Write a poem of 2 to 4 lines answering the question - "What is poetry?" Challenge too: Write a comment on my poem rewording or rewriting one or more lines using your own imagination and skill. And in the comment you can indicate if you have written your own poem so we can go to your library and keep the challenge going." - thanks Glenn!
