Wanting Only To Rhyme
Before I could return to writing prose,
verse took my pen by decree
Days fully structured and measured on end
but tonight
—words yearned to be free
The stories cerebral, their words bellicose
new plots marching forward in time
With a story inscribed for others, not I,
my true voice
—wanting only to rhyme
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
