You put soul in the poem
Allowing
words to freely roam
At
times they fight hard against rhyme
Yet
they succumb in time
Well-seasoned,
words are
Confident,
with lots of flair
Invite
them to your table
Be
assured they’ll be reliable
Compose
in any way you wish
Words
will know when you should finish.

Ahh yes, you know my weakness well, I often end up in rhyme

When the rhymes run out – that’s the time for time-out 🙂

Without a doubt, never whimper when you can shout.
