A Matter Of Choice For M'Lady Indira
Some take their writing seriously
Whilst others are just dilettantes
Though my muse states imperiously,
that I must write the way she wants
The duties writers undertake
are manifold and various.
They have to write make no mistake
on subjects light or serious.
They know it is their duty to
deflate the self important fools.
Who in their ignorance pursue
a vain attempt to scrap all rules.
Discard the lessons of the past.
Insisting anything will do.
A fashion I am sure wont last
when readers can compare it to.
Fine verse that stood the test of time.
The glories of formality
by masters of meter and rhyme.
Which they left for posterity.
Though I concede all have the right,
to write in any way they choose.
To some free form is sheer delight.
All down to taste I must suppose.

The matter of choice.. and each to their own. Well penned, my friend ; D
An Apt name A Matter of Choice. Things change, sometimes for the good, and some for the bad, we just have to find where we fit and enjoy the process. I love your work and how you do it. It has a good feel to it, like going home, or seeing an old friend. It makes me smile and that is a good thing. thanks for sharing Michael
The poem with rhymes, rhythm and meters are best..........In fact you can find my quotation on many sites............A poem without rhymes is a greatest crime........But sometimes i have found that while following strict pattern of rhymes and meter poetry becomes artificial and also there is straining while writing.........yes it know that some of all time great poems are in rhymes and meter only..........Good Write.....regards...............Hitesh
