Not a Poem

This is a poem
No it is not.
Roses a red –
no the aren't.
They're scarlet.
Violets are blue –
No, they're not.
They're actually violet.
Poems are supposed
to create an image
 that the reader can
tangibly relate to.
Golden tears like –
stop it. Remember
that this isn't 
a poem.
It's not.
The Sun isn't red
like my passion.
Nor is the
Moon white like
my "pure" sympathy.
I already told
you that this
isn't a poem.
Don't you get it?
Stop reading this.
Just because
           the writing
                     changed in 
                             structure
                                    does not
                                          mean that
                                        this is a bona-fide poem. I take things and
                                               I like to throw 'em.  When
                              I am writing poems like I am
    not
                                                                        right now. I always write
 like this. It's just a habit of
 mine.
I did not just do a slant rhyme.
                                 I have a thigh.
DARN IT!
ARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
That wasn't just
onomateopoeia.
                                Did I mention that 
                          this wasn't a poem?
I like not writing poems.
It's like blowing out candles 
on a birthday cake. 
Or sipping your first soda.
It feels
so great not
                       writing a poem like this.
Oh man.
                           
So good.
                   I'm done 
with this
pointless non-
poem.
It's over.
Hah.
