A Poem Is More Than Words That Rhyme

A poem is more than words that rhyme; it's not some gum sold for a dime A poem should speak with heart and soul, it tickles minds and can console. Verse with no aim is like a crime. 25 June 2015 Five Lines / Metaphors and Simile Contest Sponsor: Sara Kendrick

The primary objective is always, without compromise, to do justice for your inspiration, to compose to the best of your ability and blessings; craftsmanship is a multifaceted approach and accomplishment, that being said, there is a place in great poetry for urbane ambiguity. Free Verse poetry yeilds much beauty off the impassioned quill;substance is all that really matters in expression anyhow, never sell out for a rhyme, fame, or for acceptance Kim...J.A.B.
