Best Poetry.  (rhyme or not?)

Best Poetry. (rhyme or not?)

A Poem by Keith
"

Ok, I am having a crack at this too, so here's my 2c worth.

"
Paint a picture
tell a story,
share your sorrow
howl your glory.

Take me where
I've never been,
show me sights
as yet unseen.

Make me laugh
Or make me cry,
if really sad
my tears I'll dry.

Lift my spirit
stir my soul,
arouse my senses
make me whole

These things I seek
in  reading time,
for me its bonus 
with a rhyme.

Me? I love a rhyme and am always pleased when a piece unfolds to rhyme. Like alliteration, metaphor, symbolism, and meaningful allusion, I feel a well-crafted rhyme improves a poem. But, of course, meaning should drive a poem and not a rhyme. Does that make sense?

And here, you used rhyme as a tool to keep the eye on the page and illustrate you meaning superbly. Thank you.

I have detected that quite a few 'free versers' also enjoy reading a bit of a rhyme.
Awesome poem! I always enjoy your writing :)

Thank you Rita, we do see some wonderful free, but I love rhyme.
I like many different kinds of poetry writing, from free verse to highly structured iambic rhyme. Expression is the most important thing, in my book. A nicely expressed poem. ~ Robert.
