Those in the throes
Of permanent prose
Do not, I find,
Linger long in the mind,
But often get stuck up my nose.

Hello Don - each to his/her own. But I guess it's the sheer
prevalence of prose as poetry that triggered my short entry.
That said, some favourite poems are "prose-based",
primarily due to their mastery of painting word pictures
that I find memorable. But this requires skill; a mix of inspired imagination and vocabulary that is worthy and
deserving of admiration.
Those so besotted in the throes of their prose
Would dearly love to say go get knotted, (up your nose)
But rhymers like us would say with a cuss
Don't mess with us, prosers, 'cause we'll make a fuss
Now I'm not as skilled as the masterful MC
My verse is plain drab (which many tell me)
I'm no William Shakespeare, can't even spell write
Is it right that I'm wanting, dunno, maybe it's rite
See, I'm real hopeless, MC he's a'cringe
Why am I commenting, he'll think I'm unhinged
Perhaps I should go prose-like, I might have more luck
Bugga, just remembered I might get nose-stuck
D?
No offence intended MC or any attempt to 'undermine' your verse which I thought was clever and delightful. Thankyou for sharing it. I have this annoying habit of rhyming into action with the smallest of prompts....I call it minds intellectually bouncing around... (I'm surprised no-one else has commented. Prosers should be up in arms..)
