Rain, Spain, Truck

"Introductions

Hi I am Shelbeer Kaur. I love writing poem. I doesn't matter what kind."

Dear Shelbeer-

Poetry can be some of the finest, most moving writing ever done. Often it speaks to the heart, releasing emotions in a manner that affect and inspire its readers.

That said, yours don't.

While not true of all poetry, most have some pattern, some rhythm, some rhyming. I've tried and tried but neither Kaur and kind nor poem and kind rhyme.
Perhaps if you added the line: "Don't try this at home" you might have something.

Next time, read Robert Frost instead of Jack.
