No Poet

I write what I write No Fear No Reason I write what I write to fit the season I don't know genre so don't have a fit Knowing the form doesn't make it legit I never studied to learn structure or form so all that I write may be labeled free form I know this will exclude me from many contests But I write what I feel in whatever context All I can say is my best you may never see online or posted for public scrutiny If I were to learn to structure as I write the message could change you can't say I'm not right It is what it is it is what you get Know it comes from the heart as the seasons see fit

It may be free verse without a formal structure but it’s still poetry…good poetry. Your writing seems to have a natural rhythm to it, Sheila, I’ve enjoyed reading it this morning. John
