Philosophy of Poetry

Should each sentence speak in rhyme,
should I meter it with guilt?
If written out in an abstract way,
how is the story built?
Maybe only little words,
in sentences of few.
The romance of a stanza,
found in a haiku.
This philosophy within myself'
of what to bring about.
Is what it seems I suffer with,
both inside and out.
Readers only get exactly,
what I give to see.
Of this philosophy of poetry,
that's found in side if me.
