Poetry or Not

As we are diverse like our DNA, 
Not everyone agrees with all we say. 
Though wishy washy won’t appeal to me 
There’s enough around say it’s poetry. 

There’s rhymes and verse but who’s the judge 
Of what’s poetic or what is sludge? 
I can’t say, being just a minion 
Or give weight to my opinion 
But to my meagre way of thought 
Though I’m oft accused of knowing nought 
Real poetry comes with rhymes or meter 
And even adds onomatopoeia. 

If I can allude to alliteration 
Then I’d be proud of my creation. 
Some might love it and give it five stars 
Many will scathe it and say it jars. 
‘Cus we are diverse like DNA 
You don’t have to agree; I’ve had my say.
