Why do none of your poems rhyme?
(So do…I whisper…)
Is it because you lack the artifice
of a real poet, of a professional?
Are you troubled by the rythming scale,
trouble counting the syallabic content?
Trouble with Imabic, Quatrain, Sestina
Triolet, Villanelle, ode, couplets!?
NO! I answer.
the words,
gentle fire,
speak for
themselves
and I am more of a poet
than all those forms
my candle of Jesus
burns brighter…
