If the passion doesn't
steer the flow
take the reader
where he should go
then whether metered
or just rhymned
the verse is just
a bunch of lines.

In truth, what defines us is our poetry.

First the downside: I know what you are trying to say, but it still needs a little more. The upside, short and to the point.

This is just a happy little thought. Never meant to be a poem really. I just thought I'd post it here since this is where we discuss poetry as opposed to writing it all the time. Just a fun little blurb. But thank you for the responses.

Actually, I rather liked it. Like you said, it was never meant to be great poetry but it gets the point across in a way we can all understand. Just because this is CA doesn't mean that everything in here needs to be "ground breaking", IMHO. A little light-hearted fun is always welcome.

Thanks,
Pete

First I would like to say that you are one beautiful woman!

Wow!

I fiddled around with the meter a bit and came up with this in an attempt to make the flow smoother within the pentameter parameters.


If the passion does not steer the flow,
then take the reader where he wants go.
Whether metered or just simply rhymned,
the poem will become a bunch of lines.


Thanks for sharing lovely lady!
God Bless1

Thank you everyone. I'm so glad my little bit of fun was taken in the spirit in which is was given. :-)

And thank you so much Radrook, you have managed to make me *blush* with your compliment. What a lovely way to start my day. You're a dear.

No fun, we must not have fun!!!! This is serious, we must work, work, work!!!! Okay, maybe I'm overtired or have let my guard down, but I enjoyed this poem as well. Very cute stuff....but something inside is begging me to give it a serious critique...ahhh, I'm a victim of my own self

Thanks for the read,

Trevor
