Meter…Meter

Meter, meter, so hard to rhyme
I feel I’m wasting precious time
My poetry don’t seem to flow
If I meter…the rhyme won’t go

So hard to study poetry
To do it right for all to see
And make it flow smooth like a verse
I swear my writing’s getting worse

If I try to be the student
Writings are just not quite prudent
I think I’m gonna just do rhyme
Save meter for another time

My poetry has been quite fun
Not counting on each line and run
So my poems though not correct
Have been the thoughts that I collect

Whew, this was really hard to do
Counting meter while rhyming too
Instead of my usual rhyme
I wrote with meter this one time

This is what I really like in poetry. It's easy to read and I don't have to guess what your saying.

I enjoyed this very well written and creative verse!!
What discipline! Like the meter, like the rhyme...and like those poems that express without either, too!!

Hi Sherry:

You have done a great piece of art with this. In my humble opinion, this is great work.

Well, I mostly write my expression. I don't know what they're called. I write when I feel the urge to write. I don't think of poetry when I write.

Of course poetry is an art. It has to be done the right way, it has to have great meters and great rhymes at the same time.

Yes, it is called "Art" for the artistically inclined, yet not too many people from the public are artistically inclined.

I only write for my friends (those who like to read my work) and myself only.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
