Poem

A poem is a usually short written piece belonging to the literature of poetry. Generally speaking, a poem is text with an uneven right margin. There are many different sorts of poems – from formal sonnets to haikus to experimental free verse.

Here is a sample sonnet, based on William Shakespear's sonnet #18.

Shall I compare thee to Wikipedia?
Thou art more lovely and less biased:
Rough vandals do attack thy darling site,
And liberal's accounts hath all too short a block:
Sometime too slow the act of reverts shines,
And often is CP's gold complexion dimm'd;
But every atheist debate always declines,
By reason or logic's faithful course untrimm'd;
And conservatism's eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose ground to those atheists and liberals;
Nor shall Darwin brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time it growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives Conservapedia and this gives life to thee.
