Why (Achievement #27 = 4 points)

Why?

Why I chose to define the word 'POEM'.

That might seem an easy thing to do.

But for me that's not true.

I was never a lover or a student of this noble art.

Like most of us I was set my first challenge at school.

I do recall the book it was based on.

It was William Shakespeare's, A Midsummers Night's Dream.

Sadly, I retain no memory of what was written.

But I do remember the trauma that rippled through my mind.

As I tried to understand why one would write something that was difficult to comprehend.

It was and still is an alien concept to me.

Life was already complicated enough for a child.

And so, to this day my definition of the word 'POEM' remains the same.

It is just another way of writing a story.
