Poetic Justice

I landed in Poet's Court Caught me speeding in my Sonnet They judged it a rhyme crime According to the officer's pentometer I was doing 50 in a 25 word zone I'm pleading for comma relief Hoping to be released to free verse Under supervision of course Fortunately there's no sentencing in poetry Maybe they'll just revoke my poetic license

I hope you make a 'stanza' and 'contest' their decision Greg. Poetic law is an assonance. Great write. Cheers - Gary

Greg, your notice is always appreciated. Thank you for doing so. However, good writing/poetry is actually "Easy" for you to say. If you get my drift dear poet.
