Trying My Hand at Poetry

Trying to improve myself, yesterday I bought a book of poetry. I am trying to like poetry, but I don't get it. It seems that all it is is writing sentences in weird ways. For some reason that is supposed to make whatever you say seem deep and profound. Or else what you do is make things rhyme, like that's a good way to spend your time? Personally I think it is all a crock of shit. Anyway, following is a poem I just wrote called I May Be Lactose Intolerant.

Trying to improve myself, yesterday I bought a book of poetry.

I am trying to like poetry. But I don't get it. 

It seems that all it is 

is writing sentences

in 

weird

ways.

For some reason 

that is supposed to make whatever you say seem

deep 

and profound.

Or else what you do

Is make things rhyme,

Like that's a good way

To spend your time?

Personally I think it 

is 

all

a crock of shit.
