Question: Is this a poem or something else!?
My world is run by a book that never existed!.
My life is a joke
I'd talk to you but I'd choke!.
If i wanted to lie I would!.
you won't know cause I'm just that good!.
I fight cause i can,
i win cause i want to,
don't get your hopes up,
it's not worth the anguish!.
My failures, my pain, my sorrow,
i enjoy making them yours!.

My friend wrote it!. I was just curious if it's a a a poem or not so much!. I didn't think it was because it's not a constant pattern!.

It was good in expressing thoughts, but the language was simple and too direct!. I wouldn't really classify it as a poem though, because it lacks artsy!.

"joke" / "choke" are good rhyming words, but their lines (lines 2 and 3) don't make sense, as if they were just written for the sake of rhyming!.

Overall I'd rate it 3!.5/10Www@QuestionHome@Com

Poetry can be divided in many different forms!. You can even consider nursery rhymes as poetry!. I myself have written a lot of poetry without any constant pattern and even without rhyming words!.
Poetry is that which comes directly from the hear, soul and mind!.!.!.a pattern (which ur friend did put in ;) it rhymes, doesn't it!?) isn't necessary at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes it is a poem!. You can feel what the person is trying to communicate!. A poem doesn't HAVE TO rhyme or have a pattern!. A poem can be just about any piece of writing!. it's mostly emotions or ideas put together!. so yes it is!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say it's a poem!. There doesn't have to be a pattern!. It's very sad!. I hope she has happy thoughts too!. The poem is 'stream of consciousness!." Talk to your friend about those sad feelings!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

this kind of poem is called a free verse!.
it does not need a pattern!.
or anything!.
and yes i agree with everyone your friend has sad feelings i would talk to her!.
well i hope this helped you out!.
