sudoku puzzles done in ink
wearing cashmere around puppies
     and white denim to a picnic
walking barefoot on Broadway
feeding fugu to a child
mothers in miniskirts
drinking with strangers
unlocked doors
kissing with open eyes
tempting fate
pushing good luck
and telling the truth

This is an example of catalog verse, which is a poem comprised of a list of persons, places, things, or abstract ideas which share a common denominator.  Some people prefer to call it a 'list poem.'  Whatever you want to call it, it is an ancient form and it was originally a type of didactic poetry, meant to teach rather than entertain.

I don't write many list poems.  If I remember correctly, paison_de_moot is the reader who doesn't consider this form to be poetry.  What do you think?  Is this a poem or just a list?
