TO RHYME OR NOT TO RHYME?
Aye, that is the potent query.
The problem is that deep felt thoughts
have little patience with theory.
To hold a thought in obeyance
’til a rhyme offers conveyance
feels sophomoric and needless,
and carves my own rep as heedless.
I confess to a transgression
of our upright profession
of rigid rules to guide us all
on the straight road of protocol.

PRACTICING
Practicing to rhyme so that I fit in;
prose poems I guess are nearly a sin.
Far be it for me to rock the boat,
so I need to keep mundane verses afloat.
The rude and the crude,
they rhyme every time.
So why did I leave the rhyme
so sublime?

I have had a love-hate relationship with rhythms along the years

Oh dear–I haven’t done the reply thing right again. I guess the first one didn’t take. Anyway, thanks for the comment and the visit. I’ll try and visit your site again.

MtF or FtM? Not that it matters–just curious. I’ve been “writing” a novel about an MtF but don’t think I’ll be able to finish it.

Thanks for asking. I must confess I didn’t know where Malta was and am so impressed! Even has its own official sign language…Seems like you picked a good place to live or your folkls did…

Thanks. Black mold and feeding tube decisions have kept me preoccupied. When I don’t post I neglect reading others’.
