Poetry rules need to be broken to be original. Great lines.

More of a comment than poetry. But a valued oppinion.

I do love the tempo of this thought-provoking piece. I for one are still leaning the rules of poetry. Great poem to read Sotto.

I appreciate your clever after thought/note. :-) Not everyone who writes poetry is a kook. True. Reminds me of Jacob Nordby's book, Blessed are the Weird. Poets (writers in general) just don't always fit in the mainstream...thank goodness. Fantastic write, Sara

Every poet is a fool! Ooh! That line stood out for me really! Justification isn’t necessary when all is written and said and dusted, humility is something rare hard to find especially these days, a very well written rhyme and i loved how calmly youve expressed here. You definitely are a very talented poet! I still am everyday surprised by your poetic skills! Inspiring
