Poetry is more than rhymes...

Poetry is more than rhymes

Its words worked through the sweat of the labor of love

Sacrifice the rhyme for the meaning

Fill the room with crumpled papers

Trying to pen the heart of you

Into a page of descriptive beats

The path to poetry

Follows a narrow path

Of righteous rules and pentameters

To stand the test of time

Compromise

Sacrifice the rhyme and free

The verse

Edit, Pen, Scream

Rehearse

Write a poem

Open a vein

let the love

Flow

Go Insane

Here, here, couldn't agree with you more. Not much of a rules person myself, I just write from the heart, so I enjoyed that you did just the same with this smart poem.
