How Do You Prefer Your Verse--Free Or Structured

Attempts at free verse make me sigh and shake my head. I seldom try! Such lines are best by others penned, those who create a moving blend of vivid details flowing free. They earn sincerest praise from me! Blank verse and metered, rhyming lines I love, though every form confines me to strict rules. I welcome all the challenges. Some see a wall when rhyme and meter are required. By both of these, I am inspired! Date: November 27, 2019 Contest Title: Free Verse or Structured Placed 1st Sponsor: Line Gauthier December 12, 2019, entered in Brian Strand's Strand Special 2

Very well written! I love when rhyming works! I have read quite a few poems where I hate to say, the rhyming was not accurate. Yours is spot on!
