Maybe this one:
Night Poem
There is nothing to be afraid of,
it is only the wind
changing to the east, it is only
your father the thunder
your mother the rain
In this country of water
with its beige moon damp as a mushroom,
its drowned stumps and long birds
that swim, where the moss grows
on all sides of the trees
and your shadow is not your shadow
but your reflection,
your true parents disappear
when the curtain covers your door.
We are the others,
the ones from under the lake
who stand silently beside your bed
with our heads of darkness.
We have come to cover you
with red wool,
with our tears and distant whipers.
You rock in the rain's arms
the chilly ark of your sleep,
while we wait, your night
father and mother
with our cold hands and dead flashlight,
knowing we are only
the wavering shadows thrown
by one candle, in this echo
you will hear twenty years later.

some poetry is merely what you're saying, it has policies yet no rapid puzzling regulations. different varieties do have rapid puzzling regulations, at the same time with rhyme scheme, meter, form of strains, form of syllables in each and every line. there are such distinctive distinctive varieties that even those without regulations or policies in many circumstances carry on with a trend of a few sort. As for spelling, first distinctive mispelled words prepare that the author would not care adequate for his/her very own artwork to spell good, even if it rather is crammed with spelling errors, it rather is puzzling to study, because of the fact the strategies will decelerate and respell the words and the bypass, if any, is going away. the comparable with punctuation. No punctuation in a poem makes it a lengthy run-on sentence even with line breaks. merely because it is your suited to call something you desire poetry, it rather is somebody else's suited to call it non-poetry. If it flows, and reads nicely and has some sort poetic high quality to it, i'm no longer able to argue even if it rather is or isn't poetry, yet once you write an English sonnet with 7 strains that don't rhyme and are not iambic pentameter, then we can disagree, for that variety has regulations. the comparable with a Dondicrostic Quint. this is a quintuple acrostic with the 1st letter of each and every notice forming yet another notice examining down line with the help of line, different than for the top words, and the use the final letter of the know-how. It would not ought to rhyme, each and every line includes 5 words, there might nicely be any form of strains, however the words shaped must be some sort of word that once study, make a assertion. those are the regulations for that one, because of the fact I created it. cya later.
