Poetic Correctness

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

Mr. Doug

Please tell me what you think

    Your words - from your heart - your expression - your memories - your thoughts - - - - write your poem your way and share it with others.

    hye mr. doug

    i appreciate the irony here, you say write your poem the way you feel don't worry about form and things like rhyme and meter all the while delievering the message in rhyme and meter. Brilliant.
