I think I read this one before but can't remember if I made a comment. I love it! No rhymes! It seems I always must rhyme! My mind can be a gentle stream of words flowing gently down the stream. Or a raging waterfall rushing into the gentle stream! Well, something like that. This probably doesn't make any sense, does it?
If you have ever read or written at Quora, you probably saw the poem there. That’s where I first posted it —-that’s besides being in my book.
As to rhyming or not, I let the poem tell me, Connie. Some poems naturally need to rhyme. I find if they don’t rhyme, they do need to have a flow, a rhythm for each line. They need to undulate, if that makes sense.
I’m glad the poem touched you —that makes me happy. Thank you for your kind words.
