「poem」是一首「詩」——把感覺、經驗或想法寫成一行一行的短句，句尾的字有時會押韻（rhyme，發音相同）。它跟 story 不一樣：story 重在「發生了什麼事」，poem 重在「用精簡、有節奏的文字傳達感覺」。整本詩集或「詩這種文類」則叫 poetry。

意思相近
core核心畫面
Think of it as feelings and ideas carefully built into words — often set in short lines, sometimes rhyming — so the shape and sound themselves carry the emotion, not just the plain meaning.
From the word’s history
From Greek poiein 'to make, compose' -> poiema/poema 'a thing made, a creation.' A poem is literally something crafted — words built into a made object.
源自希臘文 poiein(製作、創造)→ poiema/poema(被造出來的東西)。所以一首 poem 本義就是『一件被做出來的作品』——把文字刻意打造、排列成一個成品,和『用心經營文字』的核心畫面相通。
