Thoughts destined to be washed away by the tides of life.

Doubt 2
I totally got lost in my portfolio and misread some prompts and mis-applied others and wrote a poem that has no prompt to attach itself to (it's too long for Express it in Eight), so I will drop it here.

To rhyme or not to rhyme
I confess, I feel unsure.
Free verse does not confine,
it doesn’t count the time
or insist on meter pure.

But will it make me lazy,
cause readers to harbor doubt?
Can poetry be this hazy,
Will you think I’m crazy,
If I simply sit this out?
