A poem is...
"Poetry relies upon trope." - Harold Bloom
a loose rondelet
A poem is.
A zoetrope. A drum is what
a poem is.
A poem is a spinning drum,
a frame about a central bulb.
Illusions of movements of dreams.

I really adore the cleverly written metaphor and the Rondelet form (something I've not heard of before) is incredibly charming.
Thank you for the truly lovely read and informative lesson!
