I Post Most of Mine As Free Verse Because I Don'T Want To Charge For My Poems

a tiny tip has been placed where your nose used to be your lips have been plumped you have a practiced smile you wear permanent rounded breasts your skin has been sandpapered smooth tightened to restore your youth your original thoughts are memorized someone writes the words you use you want my heart but i'm sorry it's mine and it's real can you see where that might pose a problem for you and me

This is incredibly good. My favourite poetry form is free verse, because it allows you to unrestricted expression. Your language is so descriptive with great imagery. Love it.

I see you were still kind of being self deprecating with your replies to me back in Aug. It is so interesting to go back here and visit these poems I responded to before I knew you better and see the kinds of replies you made on my comments.

I reread this one, and I am still delighted by the way you got your meaning across with a form of poetry you seem to feel does not measure up to rhyme. Please get that thought right out of your head. You do not have to be a rhyming or metered poet to be considered worthy. Your humor and wit make you very strong as a writer of free verse and prose!!

You Are SO good at what you do, i just love this kind of poetry. And the title gave no inkling of what you were going to say. I thought it would be another clever verse but discussing free verse vs. rhyme. hahaha
