Is There a Write Time ?
If I've no time to write today
will something useful take its place?
Who'd ever know what I might say
if I've no time to write today?
Could my perspective have its sway
if left to drift away in space?
If I've no time to write today
will something useful take its place?

My glass is filled with nectar of the gods: Here’s to your health, and now a toast to me. For Justin Case, a dram will beat the odds, My glass is filled with nectar of the gods. Next to the girls with tantalizing bods, The restless youngbloods, mischievous and free; My glass is filled with nectar of the gods. Here’s to your health, and this is one for me.

I write this triolet to play with Alan while he learns the scheme. While biding time with him today, I write this triolet to play his little game to light the way while he's composing self-esteem. I write this triolet to play with Alan while he learns the scheme.

Dear Alan, I apologize for seeming presumptuous! I am always only attempting to be helpful without that sad characteristic. Please forgive me for it, would you? I'd thought you were experimenting here along with the others of us. I do, however, offer this observation: Alan's wonderful always with forms but his meter is often amiss. He is eloquent when he performs; Alan's wonderful always with forms, but I must say his pace sometimes storms off the norm in some metronome bliss. Alan's wonderful always with forms but his meter is often amiss. offering further Light, Daniel

MISSING MY METER - MY METIER
My metier is often to miss the item that I'd rather hit reward, lots of boos and a hiss My metier is often to miss especially when I reminisce but do I care ? No, not one whit my metier is often to miss the item that I'd rather hit

Thank you for the new word for my vocabulary, Alan!! Feel the beat! That is my métiereven sometimes when I'm writing 'free'!I can touch it and smell the cachet Feel the beat! That is my métier; some would even say it's my forte. Step inside every line, and you'll see; feel the beat! That is my métiereven sometimes when I'm writing 'free'!

Nice one Daniel !
FEE FREE
Even most times, when I am writing free I do it for the pleasure, not the pay rarely's a fee involved in poetry even most times, for I am writing free I do it for the pleasure, and gladly as that is my own choice, it is my way even most times, when I am writing free blast, damn it, for the pleasure, not the pay

My days are filled with walking pain; at night the loneliness creeps in and tries to throttle me again. My days are filled with walking pain; I pop the meds but don't complain and take my wheelchair for a spin. My days are filled with walking pain; at night the loneliness creeps in.

Much like the villanelle in form but short so words must be concise to share my thoughts. No verbal storm, much like the villanelle in form. One must be quick to plant the corm in fertile minds. Three times, then twice; much like the villanelle in form but short so words must be concise.

No reason I should sit and write concisely or with lofty form to place myself with folks polite. No reason I should sit and write out stanzas that ain't poor or trite nor worry that they don't conform. No reason I should sit and write concisely or with lofty form.

Each form you’re wishing to perfect takes lots of practice and much thought to get it right. You may reject each form. You’re wishing to perfect a perfect phrase which will connect with minds and hearts. What you have wrought… each form you’re wishing to perfect takes lots of practice and much thought.
