Ramael Ashta Poet Free verse

i only do free verse

i only do free verse

     i rarely make exceptions

   ever since i learned about it in 5th grade

        i made a silent vow to myself 
     that i would utilize this new expression 
         at every opportunity 

    because,  you see
it is fun to rhyme, and it does take skill

        but it takes courage to write the word "courage"
   even if it doesn't rhyme with orange

       that's what it means to be an uncatchable individual
  raised to the zillionth power
if you understand what i mean

well, good for you, i guess

       complex are these colored wires 
   these are what plug our eyes to see the colors
      in the way that we understand the world

         even if it's a dull photodecadent shade of cold sepia
     or grainy footage of a mushroom cloud
           even if your "blue" doesn't rhyme with my sky

        as long as you try to talk about it, and don't beat yourself up, you can make a lot of cool things.

      it's not lazy. it's just life.
and life is art, isn't it?

think about it
