Metered Out

This
poem has
no meter.
Why?
I
don't
talk
In
It.
I
don't
screw
in
it.
If I
sing in it,
then I am
too
drunk to
fuck it
u
p
r
o
perly

I think you are missing a p !
(5th line from bottom to make the up).

I did like the anti meter reaction. (I frequently feel a similar response when being told how easy meter is).

Thanks for the read AJ.

It's not missing a "p"; it has one "it" too many.
(The one in line 6 from bottom.)
It was probably left in by mistake from a previous version.

The poem, by the way does have meter (2nd word in 3rd line).

It's impossible to write a poem without meter.
If you write a poem that has words, it has meter;
if you write one without words, you haven't written.
