Self Commentary

I dare say, you have terrific form here. I have always been a fan of your free form. It’s not messy, but it’s loose, if that makes sense. It’s a joy to read every time.

I just wish I felt more comfortable with free form.  Can't seem to ward off the rhyme and rhythm, despite my best efforts.  Oh well. The most important element is content, having something relevant to say.  Thank you, Eerie.  

I for one enjoy your style ... it is you ... authentic ... striving ... pure ...

Thank you for the kind words and inclusion in your reading list, LiiDragonFly.  I can't simply divest myself of my style nor, probably should I.  But I do need to experiment, "loosen up" more frequently and not be overly concerned with rhyme and rhythm as the heart and soul of a poem. My style will doubtless still remain as a dominant factor.  I'm just glad you enjoy it.

Rhyme is a sign of universe in rhythm

Yet if you choose to pay dues free forming ,
that is your choice and your voice was warming

Words expressed I confess , in a layered address ,
to the point , anointing and not disappointing ,
although your trinity at the end to me , especially ,
of verse implied you are not yet done with your
well said word fun...

Only listen to your heart and your word phrases
shall start and finish as mind weave , ever believed
to be your need to express what you must confess
in your way just what you have to say...

Hear , never fear , and lay it down , as you , and only you , hear that sound !

Thank you for the great and lengthy comment, Blackwolf, poetry in its own right.  You're right.  I'm far from done with my word fun, and hope that's how others take it.  

Well Crow You know I'm a fan.
It bugs me when I fall into ruts...repeated words phrases or approach...
Then I embrace what I can Write with more automatic style or comfort zone....chastise myself for being bland and boring.....then shake the bag up and repeat it all over again lol

But hey stuff gets out there...a bit of worth gleamed now and again...

Write on Crow, never fear

Thank you for the inspiring comment, souladareatease.  I plan to write on, if all goes well, and none of my recent blockage occurs.

Substance rules over style no matter how perfect the verse form

Agreed.   Without that substance the lines ring hollow.

Your puddle persuades me - smiles

Lovely Sir Crow - I must agree with beautiful SO above me here - and let me also say your writing has never been inferior to any others - regardless of form...there is always substance, always insight, humor here and there but yet each poem has and will always stand on its own perfectly. Much love to you - xoxo Taryn

Thank you for the kindness, Taryn.  You have comforted and inspired me!  

In a way this expresses how I feel when trying to write in rhyme and rhythm.

Very lovely dearest Crow.

Thank you Bonzi.  You do wonders without the ploys of rhythm and rhyme.

That means a great deal Crow. Thank you. 🙂
