Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Less of a Strain On the 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've thought poetry always meant 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!

I love poetry all types and I will be reading yours more and more.. hugs Brooke Jack Ellison May 8, 2014 at 11:14 AM Thank you again, sweetie, for dropping by.

Carol Eastman May 8, 2014 at 9:07 AM Don'ts worry Jack. If you write them... We will come... and read them.... either one... Dragon's going gaga over todays' writes and postings... especially the description of yon fair maiden in your other poem... He's looking hard to find her... LOL... PS. I've found rhyme helps most comical poems so they're more fun to read. Jack Ellison May 8, 2014 at 11:10 AM One of my all time favourite movies! Been a baseball fan since I was ten! XOXOX
