Complicating Poetry
Then twas okay
there wasn't much else to do or say .
.today there are scores of hobbies
and
games on the Internet to play
can't we all have our own say
in simpler nuances
if I may so say .....
My master taught me
abab ab abc abc then aaabb cc
and
then I took off from there
abcd.... dcba
then free for all combination
thus I created free verse poetry
for better or worse
still many stalwarts do read
my verse...
thanks to thee..

Well expressed dear loved .I
Well expressed dear loved .I understand
what you are saying but I am
sure your words will more glitter when
you rhyme and follow a meter..

rhyming and metering
for me 'tis mouthwatering ..
shall have to learn
though its late in the evening of life,
the sun is now about to set..
But still
continue I will

I agree with both of you
freeform and new formalism are fantastic, and not mutually exclusive.
But this poem is not fantastic, it's a wee whine.
Loved, your 'twas's and 'thee's deny your free poetry. And your persistently self-reflexive themes deny content.
Rula might disagree with me, but I suggest - don't write about your poetry and who reads you, write about beauty, passion, lies, truth etc etc see my signature,

Loved, your 'twas's and 'thee's deny your free poetry. And your persistently self-reflexive themes deny content.
