I appreciate the forward approach and laying out all your thoughts on poetry. Will this be the prologue to your book?

I am sure you have much more in store for us. Good luck!

    Yes it's the prologue to the book. I added 12 of my poems to it to get the book started. Kim, I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my work.

I was raised on Mother Goose Nursery RHYMES, Earl--key word there being "Rhymes."
I don't recall my mom ever whipping out or reading from a book titled Mother Goose's Free Verse Poems.
Many try to tell me that rhymed poetry is passe, old-fashioned, antiquated, not chic and out-of-date.
It's past its prime.
I couldn't care less what anyone says. I love to read as well as write rhymed poetry.
That's not to say I can't or don't appreciate a good free verse poem every now and again.
I do.
It's just that, like you, when I think of poetry I think of poetry that rhymes.

Here's some attention for ya'! I like real and this is real AND entertaining!
Poems that have to be deciphered and decided don't appeal to me. Thanks for being clear and real and nice to meet you!

Blessings,
Tina

Congrats on writing the poetry book, Earl! And like you, I do prefer rhyming poetry but am trying to learn the art of free verse, too. And yes, we have some wonderful poets here and you listed some of my favorites in your notes!

I'm with you. 100%, it has to rhyme to be a poem. When I write poetry it does rhyme, and I'll read rhymed poetry because I enjoy it. I haven't written one for ages, I must start again. I enjoyed yours, it was very entertaining. :)) Sandra xx

Everyone's poems are unique and special in their own way. You don't need to compare to others, as long as you are having fun while doing it! I look forward to reading more from you,

I have read and enjoyed your work on FS since you started here. You are entitled to your criteria to review. If that helps you to discern what you are looking for to be able to rate a work, then have at it. Everyone has their own perspective and should not be criticized for it. I appreciate the prose stories you share. They are always informative, some are funny, but all show a bit of who you are. So, never stop! Thanks for sharing this informative post, appreciate the nod in your notes. Jan

You are famous and a bit notorious. I love the intro as much as your poetic teaser. You did a fine job and I cheer you on. I never thought I would write a drop of poetry, but, I love it now. I am happy for you, Earl!
All my best,
Sal :+)
