What Poetry Means to Me

[Johnny McColvich, a fifth-grader, was given a class assignment about what poetry means to him. His insight is posted here in its entirety]

POETRY AND I

Poetry is
breaking up
story telling
without regard to rules
in normal story telling.

Such a novelty.
Such is poetry.

Forgotten after
the final
faltering
breath,

Then back to real things in life we finally return.

The End.
