Jack's Thoughts About Poetry

Remember the wheelbarrow poem
you read?
Maybe the wheelbarrow poet
was just
making a picture
with words
and
someone else-
like maybe his teacher-
typed it up
and then people thought
it was a poem
because
it looked like one
typed up like that.

And maybe
that's the same thing
that happened with
Mr. Robert Frost.
Maybe he was just
making pictures with words
about the snowy woods
and the pasture-
and his teacher
typed them up
and they looked like poems
so people thought
they were poems.
