A Minute to Ponder your Poem (Cheryl's Challenge)

How to color rhyme and meter?
can one deter
or else suppose
that you impose
those ornate words forged to relish
or embellish?

and to what end
can we pretend
to bleed our hearts out with a pen?
well, answer then;

how will your ink
make others think?

Great poem. Great playfulness and alliteration...and all in the name of pondering poetry. How very apropos!

I love the whimsy, the playfulness of the words you've chosen. This couldn't get any better. Your love of the language is evident in everything you write, whether rhyme or free verse. And those end-rhymes...like alien stated... delicious! I like the subject matter, and oh, so true.

The alliteration wrapped in this poem about poetry is superb! I find nothing to correct and enjoyed reading it. As always, thanks for sharing your talent with us.

This is wonderful Ethgar. I like how it flows so smoothly and really makes one ponder. Good work. Really have no more suggestions as its perfect after the changes.

Wow! I liked this a lot. It flowed so well! I entered the contest, too. I like how yours rhymed and flowed so naturally. I wish mine did! Ha! But I don't write poetry much, but I can tell that you do.
