A group of words phrazed together to create a peice of writing. Generally, it is short, but a poem can be anything that shows something--a feeling...a sound...a color...a thought... Most of them rhyme, but some don't. People sometimes have poetry slams, in which people read these poems aloud. People argue over what can be defined as a poem. Can "Hello, my name is nono, what's yours?" be considered as a poem? Nobody knows. I think it can.
LOVE POEM:

Love
The saddest thing I see—
People who walk, not knowing where they are
Wanderers, dropped on this earth by mistake
Empty eyes, like pebbles, dropped in a lake.
They see only images
A dim outline in the fog of appearance.
Like words that you’ve said so many times they have no meaning
These people are just clones
With shadows of who they could have been.
Of whom they are not.

Is there a cure for those who do not care?
Is there a way to save all of the lonely people of this world who don’t know who they are?
Is there a way to help the people who don’t know they need it?
Yes.
The cure?
The cure is love.

Poems were originally named after the famous poet, Edgar Allan Poe. Until his rise in popularity, poems were known by different names, like "lyric" or "verse". That's why Shakespeare never referred to his writings as poems, but rather "sonnets"
Edgar Allan Poe wrote many descriptive poems.

*A thing that teens use to vent. Written by unusually gifted people, nerds, goths, emos (although their poetry most always sucks), and of course, those poor, pathetic souls that think they have absolutely nothing to live for.

*Written in the form of whatever you feel like
How can I give an example of a poem? Okay...I'll try. Ahem.
