Nothing Worse Than Free Verse


How sad this man
Tells me he can
Not love free verse.
There's much worse;
The Vilanelle
I hate to tell
the world it stinks.
I say, me-thinks.
Haiku won't appeal this time,
Or any other, if it has no rhyme
To soothe his ear.
So sad I fear
I can no more
Knock on his door
In happy vein
For I must rein-
in my rhyming.

                  P'raps turn to miming?

Feel free.

    I can only echo what my very close friend Barry Hodges says: "Vulgarity is something to be treasured and only used from time to time." However, you will only find the F word used frequently in my own works, even though it may well offend the 90-yr olds. And there is no need to rein in your rhyming - a rhyme in time saves nine.

    Vulgarity is something to be treasured and only used from time to time. In all of Barry's epic travels you will only find the F word once (and even then, tastefully printed as f*ck in order to avoid offending the 90-yr olds).

    No talk of nude birds
    Nor even new words
    What use is this?
    I must not hiss
    Just in case
    You smash my face
    Onto brickwalls
    Followed by my balls.

      I am only vulgar some of the time -- I must consider my other followers! Thanks for your one-handed clap.

    I love your poetry no matter its form or lack thereof, or whether or not it rhymes, though you do rhyme so well. This is lovely as always.
