Are you alive?
I touch you.
You quiver like a sea-fish.
I cover you with my net.
What are you—banded one?

What are tags?
Tags, sometimes called “folksonomies,” are words that describe or categorize a poem, like “20th century modernism” or “Italian sonnet”. Tags can help you find poems that have something in common, based on how other people classify them.
