Less of a Strain On My Brain

Here's a question you guys might answer
When considering a quatrain or a narrative
The response to a narrative wins hands down
Could someone explain the reason why
Forever I thought poetry was meant to rhyme
Since grade school way back when
Apparently I seem to be living in the past
Coz narratives get much more notice
Obviously narratives are easier to write
Less of a strain on the brain
But the numbers are there and numbers don't lie
Is there anyone out there that can tell me why
See... this one was a snap to write
I await your replies with bated breath!

Sara Kendrick November 5, 2023 at 3:48 AM Some poetry is good, and some poetry is not so good it doesn't matter the form just what is being said. It is nice to read some that have rhyme, rhythm and flow most of the time. As one learns about poetry and poetry forms, reading those that follow a form's outline makes another poet think about how hard that was for the poet to write. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
