(Dex Amoroso Prompt)
I heed no rules when in poetic mode
My thoughts and feelings spring well from my mind
That guide me what to scribble on my pad
On keyboard's pouncing bag I write the words.
Shun using words that connote elegance
For the readers not to misunderstand
Poetry is not about bragging rights
It's about the eloquence of your mind.
Could I justify an old fountain pen
To dribble lines upon lines on a bark
No rhymes and meters and forms of all kinds
Indulge on paper, the old-fashioned way.
My "words pulsate in the veins of my pen"™
Like a free flowing spirit that spellbound
Kindred souls, near and far, around the globe
With whimsical beauty, my poems bring.
Still respect is due to Maestro Dex
As he takes the rein on behalf of Ben;
Their prompts and guides are dearest to my heart
Vis a vis with all their poetry schemes.
Haiku, villanelle, sonnets, triolets,
Quatrains, limericks, partenza; I bet.
But none that I conform, or I'll be late;
My pen is happy, my piece seems okay.
