A Reading
She read my poem and said
"It doesn't make sense and it doesn't rhyme."
"Neither do you." I replied. She grabbed her purse and left.
I guess she kind of rhymed.

Excellent verbal sketch! I
Excellent verbal sketch! I have encountered many people who have the same attitude---especially about the absence of rhyme. And, early in my adolescence, being compelled in a junior high English class to read poetry, I objected to the lack of rhyme; not realizing what a surprise I would get in junior year of high school when we were expected to read John Milton's Paradise Lost over the course of three weeks.
Though brief (which, to me, always goes to the poem's advantage), this poem raises a lot to consider.
