"Do we impose restrictions on painters as to what colors they may use, and how many brush strokes they may apply? " ~~The poet~~
Is there anyone out there that feels the way I do?
I don’t want to be restricted by words too many or too few.
I get annoyed when I have to remove an important word.
Because it has too many syllables. How absurd!
My poem becomes a skeleton of itself.
With all the good phrases being left on the shelf.
My poem was complete but experienced defeat.
The number of lines totaled thirty-two.
Only allowed thirty, what was I to do?
Do I take two lines from the beginning, the middle or end?
I’ve decided what to do, no more messing,
I’ll take them from the end and keep them guessing.
