Beverage

I’d rather rhyme and meter my dreams,
But you like your verse jagged,
And ugly-built.
I’ll try it loose and anti-styled,
Formless as pooled tears
In maudlin drops.
Drink them!

Steve, love this! Poets come in all styles, don't they? You might enjoy an older poem of mine that expresses a similar message, "Poetry." Best wishes, Carolyn
