Does He Even Go to Class?

So my brother Jase posted something about writing poems on his blog from his poetry class. I'm wondering if he goes to class because he's only posted one real poem and one "practice" poem. Either that or he is taking the easiest poetry class ever. Just wondering where the poetry is man. You should, in fact, title a poem "Where the Poetry Is" in fact, I am going to take a stab at it.

In quiet corners dim and still he sits
With broken dreams and pen at rest until
Across the million mile expanse is made
A journey of an inch between synapse
And then his hand will move and thus create

Resemble what it is that gives us life
That Father's breath so warm upon the dust
Engraving each His image and His Self
And making all humanity to know
The origins of abilities and life

To want, to need, to understand that thing
Which all the earth will give and will receive
A beauty made in each in all the earth
With grace and form and speechless wonder waits
Such poetry is found within the Word

Okay, so it has been some years since my own poetry class but hey. Now there is a poem out there written in iambic pentameter in the truest since named "Where the Poetry Is"
Ok I'm done for now.

Hey, I just learned about iambic-ness and things like that! It's super boring and not fun at all!

You did not make that up. Did you? Sounds really good. But I don't understand poetry at all. But it sounded really good. Did you really make that up?
