Meaning Or Mechanics? Poem by L MILTON HANKINS

Meaning Or Mechanics?



Poetry should be more expression than forms
Who says rhythm is more important than rhyme?
Even the classicists sometimes altered the norms
Poetry should be more expression than forms
Some patterns are set by the poet's emotions
Some, we'll agree, are long-accepted through time
Poetry should be more expression than forms
Who says rhythm is more important than rhyme?

'Poetry should be more expression than forms' Form not well mastered can produce the hackneyed verse, rhythm will be more important than contrived rhyme. Really it depends on what your writing and expressing, some topics tend to express themselves naturally, more and sometimes better in suitable forms, but writing what we feel and know with honesty and passion has intriguing value. Poetry is often personal taste and favourite poets to most people.
