Ah, Poetry

I dabble poetic in occasional rhyme but remain obtuse and dull witted in haiku, prone to my mistakes in cadence and lyrical crimes. I fight iambic pentameter and laugh at doggerels and limericks, steering clear of epics and fixed formed teeter teasers. Perhaps burlesque or lampoons should be my write as I pen the words and phrases of heroic couplet or narrative ballad best record of the knight. Didactic, elegies, dirge and epigrams are a gain still, I take a chance at each form to myself teach but free verse flows readily and easily in my veins. Alas, I write and take a whirling spin at reading, writing poetry and poems each day imagining the ah ha of poetry to begin.
