Amusing Musings On Poetry

To write a sonnet discipline's required Avoiding herky-jerky beat's so hard While classic rhyme can be sublime For romantic verse, it sets off chimes -- Structured verses tend to ebb and flow Be they sonnets, ballads, couplets or rondeaus... Explore your inner world in free verse Plumb the depths of darkness and despair Or soar on eagle's wings through the air Propelled by unchained imagination And creativity: Where you end up Limited solely by your resistivity November 24, 2019 FREE VERSE VS STRUCTURED Poetry Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier

This has a prancy-dancy feel, and I feel like Nina about herky-jerky. Smile. Laugh. Chuckle.
