Let Each Poet Write With Elan
Diverse like each poet and the lives that they live
are the poetry forms in which they choose to write.
It isn’t important if some want to give
a set meter with rhyme, while some give insight
through verse that is free. There is no wrong or right!
Structured verse shows us a stunning array
of great classic poets throughout history
while free verse - I think in our world today -
seems by the modern standards to be
a publisher’s most preferred poetry.
I think what’s important is how well we touch
our readers! There is no one poet who can
please every reader because there is such
a contrast of views! One form is no better than
the other! Let each poet write with elan!
