You Told Me

OMG THOMAS ~ SUCH A BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED POEM concealing such an awful tragedy in the final two stanzas. I don't know how you managed to read it so calmly it must have been very cathartic. It made me cry real big real tears. I've never been married but i can empathise because I have lost GF's who had they not died (or gone away) I could have married. This is beautiful Love Poem of Of "Paradise gained and Paradise lost again". I know from experience that "C" is no respecter of Life or Love. Thanks for sharing it really made me think and to "Cherish the Love I have ~ while I still have it". Yours prayerfully BRIAN.

Rhyming is Out of Style

Thomas,
Great commentary on the art of poetry and its contrast to rambling prose that seems little more than recorded free thinking.

AMEN TO THAT THOMAS ~ Rhyming rules OK ! I'm a performance poet and thanks again for including a reading of how your elegant ode should be recited. All my 104 poems on this site have STRUCTURE and RHYTHM and most RHYME as well ~ So they are all performable and reciteable. Some Modern poetry has neither no structure no subject no sense indeed it is NONSENSE ! My criteria for a POEM to be a POEM is it must be reciteable which require FORM & FUNCTION. Thanks for your oblique support of rhyme ~ much appreciated also your aural performance. Yours BRIAN
