I once asked a co-worker what they liked about poetry.

"It's like reading a short story, but the author has less time to make their point."

That was a fun place to work.



My own effort, written when I was in high school:

    A poem is a thought that tried
    In vain, just once, before it died
    To reach the page's right-hand side


    Past the right margin a poem may poke,
    With the help of HN's mighty block-quote.


I like this!
