T hinking I might rhyme a lick
Y et knowing naught of Limerick,
P oetic styles like Paradelle and
E pigrams I know not well.
S onnets and Fables I outgrew.
O nce I tried a Haiku.
F ree Verse? The thought passed my mind.
P oetry, though, I think should rhyme.
O des and Ballads I might try.
E pitaph? Only if I die.
T yburn just is not my thing.
R ictameter, a harder scheme.
Y et to write a single line,
(I still think poetry should rhyme).
Of course I agree with you both. I truely enjoy and have used free verse myself. This one was just a "cutesy" and I felt it needed that pretext to make it have the flavor it needed. LOL. Thanks for the fine comments.

Well then, mine would bore you. I love free verse. Cute little poem.
This is nicely done...acrostics are not easy, at least to me, so I am always facinated when I see one done.
As to rhyme...I also like tthat, but to often it seems, the writer gets so hung up on finding rhymes, the power of the piece is lost.
But ...that is just my opinion.

But that is about to change when a new,
