The owner of this whole site is also a poet and I'm betting she'll disagree with you on that!
Everything reads better with a glass of good red?

Free Verse
I’ll be curt and terse: I hate free verse
My poetry without rhyme a waste of my time
I’ll even be frank; I detest verse that is blank
Unless – this I confess, it isn’t just a mess.
It seems that free verse gets worse and worse
Art that’s unconfined needs a subtle mind
The brain of Homer, or some ancient moaner
Regretting glories past, or reliving a fast.
Poetry requires skill, say what you will
Shape and rhyme, even metre no crime
Yet in this exercise, all must I exorcise
Trying to prove all, to gain tutor’s approval.
i have a question!
is there an existing iso blurt thread on the poetry boards? i thought there was one, once, but can't find it.
cheers, mr ogg
Ogg I love this. Technically all my verse is free verse even those that rhyme I am yet to find anyone who will pay
I am a worrier poet
Anxiety I just know it
I have no poetic license
Worry rhymes are nonsense
Like other would jabber with finesse
Harder I try the more I regress
Tried to woo a lady with rhyme
Was working until the time
Poor typing she said no
Fell foul of innuendo
The pen is mightier than the sword
Missing space different word
She decided to prove me wrong
Ran away or wouldn't be as long
She challenged me to a swordfight
With the smaller weapon I took fright
Inspired by classic wondered lonely as a clod
Famous lines I trampled and trod
So now i rhyme with reticence
Am just a fool that is my defence
Under a section of the equality act
Fools can rhyme and not retract
That's what make poetry cool
No discrimination against a fool

Thanks Electric Blue - I know that folks borrow idea all the time, I just need to think about it. It's not like I'm trying to sell my poems (like, wouldn't that be awesome!) so I have to work through my feelings in my head and talk about it here to mindstorm my way through my feelings. Thank you for welcoming me. It means a lot to me.
Glad to have someone new that wants to write and my best advice would be to just run amuck. There is a weekly challenge based on different themes. Hope to see you there.
