Bobby May Poet Free verse

Dont Structure My Free Verse Please

Both enjoyable to read yet syllable counting and metering
Are not for me they tend to bend my mind and intertwine
Where I feel free to bend the rules with free verse poetry
A particular rhythm and rhyme takes up to much of my time

Free verse sets me free to think and write at the same time
Not worrying about structuring a verse with rhythm and rhyme
Calculating thinking and structuring limits me all at the same time
forgetting the thought’s I wanted to write down

All and all both are equal and fun
Choose one or the other it is your choice, not mine

Alexis Y. November 16, 2019 at 9:37 AM WoW! Bobby I share some of the same thoughts. I believe both forms are good, however I tend to lean more toward the "free verse" for the reasons you wrote about. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Sandra Adams November 16, 2019 at 8:20 AM I feel the same...i struggle with forms, it limits my train of thoughts, though others feel the same about free verse, we all have certain forms that we excel in... good write Bobby :) hugs Bobby May November 16, 2019 at 8:40 AM Thank You Sandra!!
