About The Poem

Sometime, the only thing that distinguishes a poem for a piece of chopped up prose is the protestations of the author.

About the author

Patrick Winstanley

Am I?

My lines do not scan.
My words do not rhyme.
I've overrun the meter, dramatically,
Not for the first time.

Am I a poem?
I am, if I say I am.
