Poetic License

Politically correct doesn't always answer the desire of my heart. So I must Open my mind and draw words and phrases that stir and erupt from the Elective place of my very soul. I have heard a poet apologize for using a Telltale word such as crap. I told her don't be sorry for using accolades that Illuminate your angered emotions and rightful indignation. A writer needs to Captivate his or her audience with compositions of natural vocabulary Litigate, dispute and question the issue, for every word has its puzzle place In the wonderful world of writers. Sometimes a poem can be wordy and Caressing, other times it can be short blunt and to the point. Who can Elect or disperse poetic licenses to the mass, nobody... We are, No ones boss or slave, we are poets with a free will and a lovers heart. Salute the other poets and say what you need to say with eccentricity Endeavor to communicate, for you are licensed by desire, not law. December 1, 2021 Mystic Rose

I never thought about a "Poetic License." A very creative write. We write what we feel, see, do, have been through~etc. Our free will is what makes us write as writers have done from the beginning of time. Have a Blessed Christmas .......................

The wonderful thing about poetry is... Poetic License. We can and do break rules. I am speaking from experience here. The sonnet I have just been attempting to write has broken every rule, I am on a learning curve..Love this submission...Delice
