Ed Morris Poet Shape

The Shape of My Art

I'm torn            between
two points of     view, fretting
that this little poem-writing I do
is silly—no good—just wasting
my time, even when I make
a nice rhyme, but still it
puts a cheer in my
heart: It's just
the shape
of my
art
!

Sneha Rv December 29, 2018 at 2:36 AM Woww that is extremely beautiful!! My favourite shape poem because of its simplicity and double meaning; I think this is the best. And the rhyme makes you want to sing :)) Ed Morris December 29, 2018 at 9:28 AM Many thanks, Sneha. Glad you enjoyed it.
