ME
Please don't dismiss my lack of rhyme
And taking free verse as my choice
Just read my stuff a second time
And find the poet in my voice

So...
maybe you will stick around
after you see what gives
There is quite a lot to see here
for this is where poetry lives
If you are here to get some praise
you'll get it if there's merit
But please don't be too surprised
whenever you do share it
We don't know about lack of rhyme
it certainly doesn't show
My guess is you're spoofing us
X-mas present is a lump of coal

I wrote a reply to your comment and could find no way to send it. This site is not at all user friendly, I fear.

Welcome
Thank you for your welcome. I will post something a bit more substantial next time.
I'm sorry I don't know from Instagram. I'm a devout Luddite and abhor most social media. But I am going to try to fit in here.

I now can't find the 3rd comment I received. I suspect this new endeavor may be hopeless, but I will keep trying.

But it does rhyme
And it says a lot in a short span. I like poems with few words but lots of meaning and I’d consider this to fall into that category.
Nice job,
Tim

Oh there you are
I'm staggering around this site like a drunk. The only things I can find are what I stumble over by accident. Maybe I'll get a handle on it in time.
Thank you for your lovely comment. I tend to mostly write 4-5 stanzas and I write in plain speak. My goal is to be the poetry-hater's poet.
