Free-Verse Is My Curse....

Free-verse is my curse since the day I arrived on this universe.
       I set sentences ablaze and leave the reader to stargaze.
See, poetry is a freedom of one's expression.
       Multiple words entertwined with nouns and verbs is my obsession.
Why should my poetry be labled to a certain form?
       My work is far from luke warm.
My expressions and visuals are hot like a firestorm.
       I take life's trials and tribulations mix 'em in a pot;
Along with creativitiy and imagination sending you to Camelot.
       I write about the unusual and extremely bizarre,
And I have no marbles left in my jar.
       A hidden jewel in metaphors opening closed doors.
Slicing words with my scimitar, A fallen star causing war.
       From the pages of my writing pad, my words roar.
My sanctuary is in the adjective in my vocabulary.
       My obituary will say "A poet so damn extraordinary."
When I finally receive deaths blow,
       I want them to bury me in the cemetery next to Edgar Allen Poe!

Wonderful verse, speaks to the topic too! From one rule breaker to another never change unless YOU want to. But don't expect to rank unless you play the game by the rules. NEVER just do what you are told. If you think, you are right do what YOU thinks right BUT know there will be consequences. Take them OR prove to them they're wrong and get an apology LOL> A+ for effort the contest requires Free Verse, this is the 1st time I ever asked for a form. Thanks for the splendid effort! Light & Love
