I do write free verse, but generally speaking I'm an unrepentant rhymer, that the way I grew up with ancient poets shining a light on rhyme. The versers claim that free verse sets words free, but they don't seem to be able t write rhyme anyway, hail rhymes. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

I can't disagree with much here, and I always love your rhymed and metered sonnets and other poems. I write mostly in rhyme myself, but I have learned so much about free verse and now I love it too. It can be very musical and beautiful when done properly. But this poem is all about your opinion and I think you've done a truly wonderful job of expressing your love for sonnets. You continue to write what you enjoy and we will continue to enjoy what you write. ;p MM

Hi Jaybird,
I have to agree with you, buddy. A few years back, I discovered that publishers today don't want rhyming poems. Rhymes are not "in". They're definitely out. They look for free verse poems, and I can't understand it. It boggles my mind. A good poem should rhyme. I'm with you on this.
Nicely penned!
Cheers,
Kimbob

Keep on writing with the flow. I enjoy reading your poems. Yes, it is nice to read ones that rhyme, especially the ones that are heartfelt. You write about things that are real. Thank you for sharing another great poem.

Hello Jay,

I couldn't agree more with your words in this one. I never could understand how free verse could possibly be classified as poetry. If it doesn't rhyme in one way or another, it's not poetry in my opinion.

You are a Sonnet master, my friend. Keep writing...Bill

'Good poetry' as the poet eloquently states here helps 'set spirit free; - a wonderful tribute to the poetic art here and its positive effect on our daily lives

Agency. To choose to do what one does. I was big on rhyme for a time but like the dial on a clock the hours change. You are good at what you do and appreciated.

There is a contagious foot tap to a well metered poem... And the rhymes never fail to draw me in, lyrical as they make a poem!

I love free verse as well....

But, when reading your work, I'm especially fond of your sonnets!
