I write as the music flows
from soul to heart and heart
to mind
I don't always sing in meter
and rhyme:
I am not in search of the sublime
for form may the truth hide
and all human traits falsify
then lose my words in a lie.

Cannot be overused. Let me take another look

Thanks, Wes'

A poet has to be creative

Shakespeare created so many words
I too create many
as they come to my mind
like '''beautifuller''
why
very or much or more beautiful only?

everything in life is comparative
so is it with poetry

Initially when I came over as Loved
none read me
what FREE Verse!!!

now don't grumble and curse
mostly all of you also now compose
and '''betterfully''' too
in Free Verse.
