A poem has no right or wrong
It's a story from your heart
words that flow through fingers
as the thoughts just sort of start
Cares not for rhyme or reason
for meters or scripted ways
Based not on what some others did
Originality is what pays
Just cause someone did it
Means not you follow suit
A precious poem sequence
bears lots of heartfelt fruit
So write the poem your way
Use the words you have within
Care not to fit a pattern
Are you ready? - Let's begin

I really like your point of view and the way you share it, though I think there is something to be said for quality of language in poetry. Very deconstructionistic. (Like that big word? lol) Thanks for sharing and good luck in my contest!

Nice! Maith tu! Smoothly written, and doesn't sound forced, like oh so many rhymed poems do. Although you make me feel guilty for my constructive criticizing...
