Perhaps my ear is not attuned, to prose not penned in rhyme; <br /> Personally preferable to balladry back in time; <br /> When poetry meant each second sentence was aligned; <br /> Absorbing each verse, and every line; <br /> Perusing in between each separate work and deducing; <br /> All that's been written and then concluding; <br /> My own idiosyncratic view which may be peculiar; <br /> And I'm probably no different from what you are; <br /> As I may read many, and some may read mine; <br /> Disagreements, we almost, always find; <br /> So isn't it good we appreciate criticism and praise?; <br /> As us 'Lyricists' never take value from face.<br /><br />Irene Anne Fraser<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reflecting-rhyme/
