Introduction
Poems are a simple thing. As well as one of the hardest things. you can write the shortest poem in the world or the longest. You could write a haiku or a free verse. You could write one of the most complicated poems to understand or the easiest.
"M" ~Aram Saroyan
Poems are not one to be a fact, not one for everyone to understand, and not one for everyone to relate to. Poems are what you know them to be, and what you make of them. what a poem means to you can be completely different from what the poem means to the author.
Poems teach us that no matter how short or long, no matter how scientific or dumb one could be. no matter how you understand it, or how he, how they, or how she understands it. A poem is what you make it to be. A poem is what you feel it means to you. That's why a poem is one of many of the best ways to interpret how someone sees the words on that eggshell page, how someone smells the musty pages. how someone reacts to the heartbreak, the happiness, and the anger on that one page. in that one book, next to a million, in the one library explored by the 329.5 million book lovers in the 19,495 cities, in the 50 states.
