Strict form; gives me guidelines.
Free verse; more emotion for me,
Without strict form's confines.
With free verse,
The emotion flows.
But it isn't always free.
It can drift,
into strict form.
So I prefer strict form,
I know what to work with
But emotion's lukewarm
I'll say it herewith;
I'm a wordsmith.
My strict form should be free
Yet my free form is too strict.
Why not both?
Signing off the month
Farewell,
Au revoir
Arrivederci
Adios
But I hate to say goodbye
So I'll say Auf Wiedersehen.
30 poems for 30 days
Maybe I'll try again next year.
