Writing free verse poetry
is mostly about finding
the preferred word,
and avoiding the rhyme
most of the time.
Sometimes it works out,
but when you're about
to end a line, another word
enters your surprised mind.
So I just go with the flow
and let the poem grow,
knowing that soon
I'll have to prune.
Or start all over again,
and trace where I've been.
Amen.
