Audrey Haick Poet Free verse

Comments Better Than Gold

Truth is easy to write as its fluidity resonates!
At times I read people well, and sometimes, not
This is one of those times I have it right, I believe
He’s an excellent poet with a gentle soul
Blessed with a wealth of knowledge
Already excelled in the craft, now he writes for the joy
Self-assurance shows and he's confident of his worth
Honor he bestows when he leaves comments on my poems

We are graced by the presence in our midst
Of a Doctor of Literature, so unassuming
Always courteous and seemingly devoid of ego
That he would bother to read my poems
Tells me I am not too bad at all
I can tell when he truly enjoys the read
And when he’s merely being polite
For me, Dr. Ram’s comments are better than gold

Carolyn Devonshire March 10, 2011 at 1:53 PM I didn't realize free verse was acceptable, Annalise, but it IS. Your use of it makes your poem stand out from the other entries I've seen. I wrote one but didn't post it because it sounded redundant, but yours describes Dr. Ram so well and so creatively. Awesome! Free verse is definitely the way to go when trying to describe someone who brings so much to Poetry Soup. Best wishes in Joe's contest! Love, Carolyn
