I am lost and foundering without my rhyme. I wonder how you write free verse. I hear iambics in my mind. I see rhyming, miming, words in timing. (oops!) I want to structure each of them I am lost and foundering without my rhyme. I pretend to let words freely flow I feel the need to write a sonnet. I touch more hearts with my pantoums. I worry not when penning villanelles I cry no tears when quilling paradelles (oops!) I am lost and foundering without my rhyme. I understand we each have styles to write. I say that this should surely be all right (oops!) I dream pentameter at night (darn!) I try to write in free verse, but I can't. I hope to meter my next quatrain I am lost and foundering without my rhyme.  |

Oh how I do know the feelin' Can't stop the rhyme gears from wheelin' Gotta shift the words just right Free verse is not my poetic call Without rhyme my words just fall So in rhythm I must write |

I simply must write metered time; My works are all in verse with rhyme. I just can't pen in blank or free; That's how I AM, you plainly see. I'll leave the rest to Izz and Red, Who'd rather flow freely instead - But using such grand imagery They still write lovely poetry....  |
