Well...my poems which I write and post are sort of short, rhyming sentences, but they aren't nonsensical, AT ALL! This salt and sugar was some pure diarrheaπŸ˜†πŸ€£...

Daffodils was my most favourite poem from Class 10, ICSE. I even wrote a whole post on the line "bliss of solitude"🀣

The Sherlock and Moriarty one was great! πŸ˜„

So relatable. For the longest time, poems had to rhyme for me to consider them as poems. But I still can't appreciate them completely.

Also, Rupi Kaur is not a poet. 😒

Thank you for liking these crap poems 😁

non-rhyming poems don't feel like real poems right! Thank you for saying that.

And for your last line please accept my highest of the high fivesπŸ™Œ

I realised after reading this that I actually liked those 🫣

I even liked your poems during lockdown. Whatever we may call it, if it makes a significant audience smile or laugh, it's worth keeping no?

Yep true. but I just couldn't believe that we are calling them as poems too xP

I started writing my poems as a parody of these free verse poems. My intention was to make people laugh and glad I was successful!

With the ones, I mentioned in my post, those are essentially sentences which aren't even impactful in many cases - that's why I got a little confused. Chal kya rha h bhyi idhar free world ki duniya meinπŸ˜†

Hehe... Poems without rhyme/meter are called free verse poems. Some of them are really good. For eg Banjara by Javed Akhtar. My all time favourite poem is a free verse poem titled "Hatasha se ek aadmi baith gaya" by Vinod Kumar Shukl 😍 but I agree ... Today people write shallow sentences and call it poetry πŸ˜’

Thank you for the kind words Iqjot.

I read one poem of yours and it feels like a poem in all the ways I know (and I'm not a pro in any way) and I also like poems now (at least the ones I can understand, which aren't manyπŸ˜†). My only confusion is when people write sentences and then call them as poems!

However, glad that you liked the humorπŸ˜„
