We folded our pain
Into origami frogs
And tried to laugh
When they wouldn’t jump
Poem? Or not? It was meant to be a poem. Does it work? Poe's criterion, "the rhythmical creation of beauty" is the supreme test. Does this pass? He didn't say rhyme, but never wrote anything that didn't. And is rhyme necessary? Yes. Unless... and so is this one of those "unless" times?
