Poems

What makes a poem a poem? This week, Caleb and Jay stretch the definition beyond the poetry book, sharing five pieces of writing that have stuck with them—whether they came from a poem, a song, a movie, or a TV show. 

The conversation wanders through curiosity, kindness, parenthood, mortality, perseverance, and figuring out what really matters while we’re here.

Some rhyme. Some don’t. Some were never intended to be poems at all. But they’re all words worth remembering.
