Certain patterns formed the shackles
by which I have long been bound.
There were those who tried to show me
yet my mind refused to see.

Such restraints deny potential
yet, have served me well 'til now
that a wealth of different avenues
at last have been revealed.

What was obvious to others
did evade me for a time.
Now, the weight of those restrictions
has at last been cast aside.

I refer to suppositions
that all poetry must rhyme
when that's obviuosly not the case
the opposite is true.

And so, in bumbling fashion,
for which I've become reknowned,
I shall modify my thesis
to include this new found fact

and revert to my old habits
when I wish to clown around.
'Cuz, dag nabbit, that's how looney tunes
and Moose are s'posed to act!

Cute, Doc! I enjoy whatever you write, no matter the form. It never disappoints!

I put this poem on my screen four days ago -- and it's been sitting there, unanswered, ever since. Meanwhile I have been re-thinking my own poetry and how I've done it lately....and not liking what I see, in some ways. You meant this in a light way, but light doesn't mean vacuous, as you know so well.

Now it's time to let my computer rest, and for me perhaps to do things differently...thanks to a nudge at just the right moment, from this poem.

Do you do it for you? That's why you should do it, you know? OR so they tell me..

Whatever reason, you do it well and I enjoy it, so just keep on doing what you do, k?

Doc...I must admit, because of the rhythm of your poem, I expected rhyme as well. But, you obviously didn't need it. Your poem is fine poetry as always.

perhaps a subtle twist of the wrist to bring light into the eyes but a joy to read, and very well done...
