What makes a piece of writing a poem?

If there isn't any rhyme or at least repeating rhythm

it's just pretentious shredded prose and not a proper poem.

A little child skipping in the rain

ignoring the bleakness outside

by the sunshine within. 

THE LIVING YEARS

The first two decades were childhood, waiting;

the last two were old age, life abating;

but the middle four were the meaning of life -

procreation, kids with wife.

VICTIMS or DUPES ? ?

Not kidnapped, drugged, assaulted, raped.

Seduced indeed but not by men.

Instead by a life of luxury shaped

to partnering famous men.

I know there's a science explanation

about the colour of the sky

and it would be presumptuous

of me to question why

it has to be so complicated.

I give the scientists their due

but seeing as it's Some-One's carpet

I just think God likes blue.
