I Thought I'd Go Put
I thought I'd go put pen to paper
Fingers to keyboard actually
And try a little free-verse musing
Something that's new to me
I'm told it has no rhyme nor meter
It could end up a mess
And leave my little venture
In permanent recess
Bother!
Why have I gone now put
Rhyme into this ditty
Seems I haven't learnt a jolly thing
What a crying pity
Don Matthews June 2017
I am a secret dreamer
At times up in the clouds
I'll witty stay and Mitty be
With rhyme I am endowed
Now some can't seem to stoop
An' understand my stuff
I guess it's pretty complex
Maybe they think it's guff?
Dunno ?

I'll raise my tankard
Cheers!
In poetical terms I hope you stay
A diverting "Walter Mitty",
Free to choose your own wordplay,
But please continue to be witty!

Free verse may be versatile
But has to have some rhythm
For it to be called poetry
Don't have to rhyme with zythum
Look up this stuff called zythum
In your dictionary
Yes, it does exist it does
I'm not kidding thee ?

Don
I accept free verse
is versatile
but Don,
now please don't cry,
Your poems
always make me smile
but maybe I
should give free verse a try.

Don... Totally agree with the thought
Poem without the frills of rhyme seems a bit faded..
Rhyme infuses life, leaving not a single layer look jaded..
