I love that they had to write that the island (Whatever it is) wasnt to scale.
And dude, that isnt a poem. A verse from a Rage against the machine song maybe, part of a rap, maybe. But in no way could it ever be called a poem. Ever.
Um, that'd be Alaska and it's a poem, you probably just think all poems have to rhyme. They're "po·em Audio pronunciation of "Poem" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pm) n.
1. A verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way, characterized by the use of language chosen for its sound and suggestive power and by the use of literary techniques such as meter, metaphor, and rhyme. 2. A composition in verse rather than in prose. 3. A literary composition written with an intensity or beauty of language more characteristic of poetry than of prose. 4. A creation, object, or experience having beauty suggestive of poetry."
I know you're not American, you're Brittish (or at least, you're in London). Regardless, that's not the point. If it isn't a poem, that's fine, because it still expresses an experience, idea, and emotion. It can't be described as a rap, nor a Rage against the machine verse (forgive me for not knowing what that means), so I guess since it's also not a poem or prose, it defies definition:-)
