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 Date: 12/29/2018 2:36:00 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 :)) Login to Reply Ed Morris Date: 12/29/2018 9:28:00 AM Many thanks, Sneha. Glad you enjoyed it.
