This poem is kind of ironic, considering most of my poems now are free-verse due to the man spoken about in my poem..Haha. ***** I used to write with such a rhyme, Followed the rules most of the time. Until one day I met a man Who wrote for him and not for fans. His pen touched down without a plan, And down the page a poem ran. I asked, "Please read?" and he began. His words flowed smoothly, better than The poems I'd thrown in garbage cans. He'd broadened my poetic span. "Free-verse poems are not a crime", He said to me, his words sublime. *Amber |

So-called free verse can be like playing tennis with the net down, as Frost averred about inferior attempts at it, or Whitman-esque in its scope. Best of luck. |

Irony always has its place, even inside the process of writing..whether it is free verse or Rhyme. Unlike, Easy... I do not judge the use of free verse or rhyme, and find the intent of what is written to be as important in many ways as the form. enjoyed your irony.... |
