Fantastic write my friend.....! Beautifully rhyming! Though free verse is preferred in modern times and rhymed verse looked upon a little out dated, I still enjoy rhyming verse better! Yes, your advice at the end is so sensible....! Pay little heed to what others say, instead follow the bent of your mind! Top marks!

And if you feel your poems' sublime Pay little heed to what others say With or without the rhythm and rhyme Keep composing and do it your way Absolutely Loke! Each one should follow their heart. Compose a poem the way they like. I like the spirit in you that is honest and noble. Should poetry rhyme? Surely, it does in this fine poem. And why not? A full Mark, Loke! God bless!

Thanks Geeta, I accept the honest part (keeping one of my eyes closed when I said that!) But noble? ho ho ho! No! There isn't a noble bone in me. I write only for a bit of fun and to slow my aging brain cells from senility. If others enjoy reading my poems; I'm happy.
