Poetic Expression

To leaven my load I express in code The pain that I feel Still, nobody knows To pass the time I make it rhyme Still, no one hears The bottom line It sounds so clear To my, partial ears Still others twist The words they hear It’s hard to heal And learn to deal When no one sees The part that’s real

For my part, rhyme shows more effort than rambling free verse. Yours is excellent. Some poets carry abstraction to its natural end - distraction. My view is poetry should be open-ended but not so far as to fall into self-pity. It IS disappointing when the reader misses your main point. You have said it well, Anna.
