A Softer Rhyme

Are the feelings soft
  but the words rock hard

Turning emotion into anger
  or worse

Are those wishes pure
  when the ink goes down

Are the letters aligned
  or off course

Are the feelings soft
  but the sentences vile

When frustration takes over
  your rhyme

Is the Muse trying to whisper
  as you shout to the crowd….

       “Step back
         —nothing forced is sublime”

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
