Notes About The Poem

' It is a test [ that ] genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.'

-T.S. Eliot

Poetry

POETRY  

    Poetry by tradition must be rhythmic.
    Rhyming or non-rhyming matters little.
    Rules- regulations to pen a poem
    restricts poet to fly freely in sky 
    Better to allow the poet to soar high.

     Wandering in dreams to be amused
     on own muse reflecting on emotion.
     Free verse is queen in realm of poems.
     Rhythm with internal rhyming runs fine.
     
     Yet Poetry is nicest creation              
     simultaneous self recreation.
     Human feelings best to be realized
     through songs and poems.
     Lyrics also are part of poetry.
     Perfect poetry to feel and realize,
     neither to analyze or criticize.    
 
     Whether structured form or free verse to flow
     True poetry in any guise sure to glow.

Good. Liked the theme. Poetry is music as well but the tune is set by the reader .... You are right , it's better not confine it but give to the freedom of the writer ....it has no form.
