I do not always
Have to rhyme;
In fact, I’ve written
Free verse too,
But even then
With so much time,
I’ve only written
Just a few.
No matter how
I try to stop
The rhymes from
Coming out today,
They’ll wriggle free
Until they plop
Into my mind and
There they’ll stay
Until I sigh
And let them go
To let them choose
Their vetted seat
Where happily
They’ll set to row
My raft of words
To every beat;
Past verbs and nouns
And synonyms,
Around the bend
Of every line,
They’ll grit their teeth
And work their limbs
To show me how
Their strengths combine;
And if they stumble
On their way
And miss perhaps
A beat or two,
The message they
Will not betray…
And that’s why free verse?
Only few.

Great use of fun! I enjoy writing poetry that ryhmes, but sometimes I venture down a different trail for some free verse.
I like reading free verse, but it doesn’t come as naturally to me as rhyming does. Venturing down different trails can lead to wonderful places. 🙂
The thing is that you write for yourself, firstly. What you write and how you write it… all is good – Great Words, excellent order put in are they. G:)
Lol thank you kindly. 🙂
I prefer rhyming as well….it lends itself to a more flowing read. This WAS a fun read!
I’m very happy it was fun for you! 🙂

I’ll subside in the tide until she’s lied
For the finally funniest last time;
Then without woe, I’ll let her know
That I wrote this just to rhyme.
LOL love it! Thank you. 🙂
I caught myself singing to your free verse poem. That is brilliant to have one sing to one’s writing. I love this so much. 🙂
