See, you might need a little background information before you read the poem that follows. *cue mysterious music* *flashback* Well, see, in this forum that I'm a part of, called MNFF, there is this group called "Poetry Anyone". I'm a member of that group, and so I participated in a challange recently. WE had to write a poem about the group. Here's mine:
An Anyone's Analysis Of Poetry Anyone
Poetry- my first love! So maybe I lie…
“It’s my second love!” I cry.
I’m afraid I’ve lied again, my second love it is not,
But one of my loves it is, sure as <s>fire</s> Jolie is hot.
Harry Potter, I love it too.
Mix them both and… Yahoo!
And so Poetry Anyone I joined,
But I haven’t been active, that’s a true point.
Well, in my defence, this group had lesser activity and lesser life than a spork!
Maybe I’m exaggerating! But the fact lies there, barer than the fact that I’m a dork,
that Poetry Anyone was not the most happening place on MNFF!
And here I’ve rhymed myself into a corner, what rhymes with MNFF?
Well, may I suggest, without impertinence as a fear?
That you start this group anew, changed from front to rear?
To join, first of all, you must write and PM Roxy a poem,
And if she accepts, this group will become your home.
We can have monthy challenges, perhaps? And rankings too,
We can have a critique thread, where help each other we can do.
If you post a poem to critique, post a poem’s critique too-
That should be a rule to be followed by all- not only a few.
Well, so some of my suggestions may have been bad,
And some of my suggestions may have been really rad,
But it doesn’t matter, I’ve expressed my views,
And that’s what counts, in a these kind of groups…
Or so I hope.

It's not meant to be deep, thought-provoking, or any such adjective normally used to describe poetry.
Feel free to shout, exclaim, interject, scream, etc. at my uselessness.
