A Poem Comments

At best it is distilled thoughts put into rhyme Or a moment caught in time.................. i love rhyming in poems; that is what i heard as a child, but now i sometimes read a non-rhyming poem which 'beats out' many rhyming poems i've read, including some of the best rhyming ones. Or the emptying of a mind about to spill” I ‘love’ this line. :) I will, I shall, I have ENJOYED it …………..immensely! :) bri :) now it is ready to join other favorites in MyPoemList and join some in the November, Section B, showcase for PH poets on my PH site [for poems over 12 but less than 51 lines]. thanks, Valsa. bri :)
