         thoughts conveyed

     artfully

  words and space

       and lines

             playing together

                  unchained

          from meter

     or rhyme

          or rules

              flowing like a river

          on a page

My style of poetry completely - playing by the rules is needed at times, it forever teaches us, but, letting your words flow is relaxing and creative, as is this write of yours, really lovely! May your Christmas be a blessed one and may you and your family have a wonderful, happy day P.S Hugs, Jennifer.

Love, love, love the way you've spaced everything to reflect so brilliantly your poem's message. Really cool, as we used to say! Bravo, Gershon

There is nothing wrong with rhyme nor meter. Think of music..there would be none, without it. I realize how much both are despised here. Use what works for you PS. Some of the best writers here use rhyme and meter. I am a dummy when it comes to meter. Holy smokes. Densoid, PhD, I love your simplicity and kindness PS. It shines in your poetry. A blessing to us all. Your good heart has its ownrhythm.))) Pangie xx PS Fan Club.
