Thank you for sharing your poetry, Jaybird! I'm glad that you write in rhyme. Rhyming verse has been much maligned by the Free Versers and I'm glad you are keeping up the tradition!

You did a great job with your poem. I enjoyed reading
it. The flow was smooth with great rhymes. Your message
was clear, too. I liked rhymed poetry the best and agree
with everything you mentioned.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

I only write free verse. I have neither the talent nor the patience to tackle rhyming poetry. I am in awe of those with that ability. Wonderful poem about your poetic preference. Gretchen

I agree that poetry should lift the spirit much like music. Unfortunately, much of the world is wicked and getting worst all the time. Some poets have to record this reality which doesn't help our spirits but does inform us.

This sonnet tells us rhymed adds soul to a poem. It shows you don't like free verse because it has no true rhythm.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

I am with you one hundred %, Jay. Poetry has to sing, it has to rhyme to feel right. Yours always do and they are always a pleasure to read. Shakespeare would shake his head in sorrow if he were alive today. You keep writing in rhyme, and we will keep reading them. :)) Sandra xx

Jaybird1,
I always appreciate your Posts.
Wise words:
"...The purpose of good poetry,
would enhance love, set spirit free...."
I do take issue with:
"...When free verse later came along,
it dimmed our flow, we lost our song...."
I love the perfect sonnet, yes, but I do love some of the power of free verse when not trying to be too clever....
Thank you for the fine poem!
