Elusive Poet

No rhyme This time. Re-thought Still naught. Read books Got looks. Brain nap A sap? More rest Flunked test. Online Not fine. Didn’t learn Still yearn. Free verse Got worse. Poet? Forget. Tried hard No bard! 10/29/17

Thank you very much, "Shadow..." This one was pure enjoyment to write! :) I do recommend the footle form of poetry. It is rather simple and provides a welcome relief from some of the other highly structured types. Thanks again, and holiday blessings to you and yours!! :) Bartholomew
