Let metephors flow..while images rhyme, unstructure find
My focus. As 'thoughts whirl in sublime.' Let shiver the ether' come all.. Come what? this May.' Into June..Nay
Through a years run.'May  poetic licence; and richest expressive..
Be on full display.'

Unsmart Metre

I’ll apologise here at the start
For this verse won’t appeal to your heart.
So banal, it’s a shame

Premium MemberMusings On Poetic Metre, Rhythm, and Song

Rhythm’s a trick of deft poets,
     who know the pulses of their feet
give lines their tempo. And so it’s
     like a poem’s pulsating heartbeat;
it’s hypnotic (and you know it’s
     metric),—so drink in its potent beat!

When one hears a song’s rich measure
