Who is to say We dont understand
Grammer.
Who is to say We have to Captialise
corectly

 

What about Punctuation!
spelling, and Comas, everything We”ve
Been teached in English class.
“When writing poetry You must…”

 

Blah!

 

blah.

 

Blah?

 

must we really? “Capitalise this, Spell
That right… blah blah blah.
We are, told to write
Creatively
but are we really free
to right

 

Whatever we want?
I dont now Much about
writing anything
big.
but.
i do know how to use
MY
imagination.
in my, Opinion students
Should be alloud to write however
they want. when i am being creative; i
dont wory
About speling and Punctuation. I just
worry About getting all my
thougts

 

down on too Papor.
if I cant Be creative worring
About ‘Should i capitalise the beggining
of each Stanza. is this spelled corectley!...’’
then how can Anyone else?

 

so If you realy
Think About it, their are
No Rules to Poetry

 

Who is to say We dont understand
Grammer.
Who is to say We have to Captialise
corectly

 

i am not Here to say any of
Those things?
I am here to Say what
i have Already said, And i
Said It.

The author's comments:

My inspiration to write this poem came from my friends. I usually get confused on what I should say when I'm writing and my friends suggested that I write a poem about it. I wanted to specifically comment about grammar and spelling rules in poetry.
