Writing in Verse
Meter? Free Verse? Poems come thru, not from me. This one was having fun when it arrived.

Verse is nice, when you can get it,
when you can't,  no need to sweat it.
Just say the words you have to say
and leave the verse to yesterday.

For yesterday, 'twas understood,
the verse would come, as then, it should.
For verse was then a means to say
the things we all said, yesterday.

Don't worry if you speak in verse
from yesterday.  Or even worse-
If yesterday you spoke as now!
(Who'd be the worse off anyhow!)

So just say what you have to say-
I'll try to understand today.
And should your point be vague and strange,
I'll hazard it's tomorrows' change!
