A Matter Of Form For Friend Leslie Comments

Yes! That's it...well said Mr. Poet!

Ivor, this poem is an excellent example of rythmn and rhyme, it flows it also gets it message through. I enjoy both free verse and rhyme, I have written both. I must add however you are really proficient in rythmn and rhyme and I really enjoy your poetry. Bob

There is so much wisdom in this poem Ivor. I like rhythm and rhyme and free verse as well and I was surprised that quite a few poets on this site do like rhyme so I think this is great. Your poem is beautifully expressed. 10 Karin Anderson

A wonderful write...........

I am applauding you loudly Ivor. What an excellent statement. It is always so sad when you get into the first two or three lines and then things just go from bad to worse. No understanding of the storyline if any, and can't make head nor tail of what it is all about, anyway. It isn't a case of just stringing a load of words together, which I think a lot of people think is the end product. Top Marks. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Amen to that, Ivor! So often when I chance to read random poetry, I run into jibberish that I can't discern the meaning. I would much rather chance a good rhyming poem that sticks to the basics anyday. Well done, well said! Regards, Leria
