ideas to the reader's or listener's mind. Poems
do not have paragraphs, they have stanzas.
Poems do not use correct capitalization and
punctuation. A lot of poems rhyme.
My Kitten Won't Stop Talking My kitten won't stop
talking.
She just prattles night and day.
She walks
around repeating
nearly everything I say. My kitten never
says, "Meow."
She never even purrs.

She mimics me instead
in that
annoying voice of hers. She waits for me to
speak,
and then she copies every word,

or begs me for a cracker,

or says, "I'm a pretty bird." I'm not sure what
to do, and so
I simply grin and bear it.

She's been this way since yesterday
that's when
she ate my parrot. --Kenn Nesbitt
