Writing

I'd like to write a poem Of all that I hold dear I'd like to write a sonnet That would be oh so clear I'd like to write in styles That I've not wrote before The beauty of a structured poem Is what I so adore The rules that shape our craft Should not be lightly taken Instead they should be woven The shouldn't be mistaken If a certain style you wish to write in Be sure to know its rules Then to write in only some of them Now that to me is cruel For when all the rules are followed By the poet oh so true The beauty of there creation Will inspire some others too

Thanks for the complement. I had to very good teachers on another site when I started writing. I would not become half as good as I without.
