WRITE FROM THE HEART, However.....

I came across this one while looking thru my unposted/unpublished writes. "Writing free verse poetry is like playing tennis with the net down." Robert Frost

 Yes, that makes perfect sense to me
Poetry is a tale that rhymes
Written using meter and verse
How I wish I lived in Frost's time

What's happened to old poetry
Now there's Haiku, Senru and prose
I guess that time simply moves on
Still, I don't get any of those

That's what makes this old world go 'round
Thirty-some flavors of ice cream
Different strokes for difrent folks
And nightmare's mixed in with our dreams

So, I keep tradition alive
By using meter, verse and rhyme
That's what poetry is to me
Yes, I'll take that any old time

Just a matter of what one likes
Nothing to do with lit-rature
Write the way it comes from the heart
That should be our first choice fur-sure

This is really cute, Paul, and obviously from the heart! I've been enjoying trying some of the other forms lately, but my natural inclination is just like yours...poems rhyme!
I just found your comment on my blog about Sandy Hook, Paul. Thank you for that!

Your Sis,
Connie
