Janice Canerdy Poet Rhyme

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!
