Like scattered leaves, my words will flow
Am I a poet? I don't know
Oh geez I'm not supposed to rhyme
Because this verse is meant to be free
But will I ever be free,
in verse, in life, in mind?
Like scattered leaves
of roses white
Blown off by wind in moments time
Like words in mind will disappear
the moment they pop up?
Will they ever flow
my words of rhyme not rhyming
like scattered leaves in red
like moments in life
But will I ever be free?
Am I a poet? I don't know
My words are scattered and
while flowing through my mind
I try to rhyme a free verse
I try to live a free life
I try so hard to keep a free mind
I don't know
All I know is that,

(big hugggsssssss) YES, YES, and your gorgeous words always flow so gracefully, as I believe a true poet is always honest and in love with ones heart as you always are! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, you ARE a poet, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light alwyas shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You scatter them quite nicely and free-verse can rhyme as I understand it but it doesn't have to.  Either way......YOU ARE A POETESS for sure and one that presents us with many treasures to read.  Well done and I truely enjoyed as I can relate to your thoughts more than you could imagine.  Rhyme is in my blood and free-verse just plain makes me nervous.
