My Great Desire-Free Verse Comments

After so many months, I felt an urge to look into your poems. On scanning through your pages, I found this poem titled My Great Desire! I was curious to know what that desire was! Yes, we all love to liberate our thoughts in free verse set free of all shackles of rhythm and metre! But those who admired the legacy of traditional poets have an inherent love for rhyming verse and we tend to write rhyming verse!

Joseph, Sir, I looked through your anthology here and chose this as the first poem of yours to read. A fine write indeed with the bulk of witty and informative observations in the second verse with the first and third stanzas measures and formed like a pair of bookends or guards to contain the bulk load of prose in the center or a block of uncared potential just waiting like a vocabulary seeking order. Yet, there was perfect order and measured flow to this unhewn mass. Beautiful content and form.

This is grand. Well crafted. And judging by what you’ve done here, I truly believe that you can do free verse. Joseph, as time permits, would you read my poem, “Common Addiction Among Poets”? Thanks.
