glass wine thief
what do you think of this poem?

i watch you as you lay there
television boasting, restlessly
your eyes glued
as if stuck like velcro
teardrops trickle
in streams of red
I hear your voice
but nothing is said
I watch you lay there
that cold hard glass
your friend, my foe
quietly cursing you
for what you are
a liar
for all that you said
a thief
for all that you took
rivers ,
red like wine
or a rose
flowing intrepidly
paper boat floating
current fast and wasting
stained by the color
that is death
I see my reflection
in it’s shaft,
smiling.

Now… I agree with my fellow critics that this is bad writing. However… the lack of meter or rhyme or a clear flow of words does not mean it is not poetry. It is. It is very bad, but it is poetry.
