2009 Poetry



Loves have come and gone in my life,

most filling me with joy,

a few tearing me to shreds.

Don’t know if I would give up any of them,

for they all made me who I am.

Their names, they do not matter,

what they left is all I care.

For they were the loves of my life,

and I remember them all as I die.




Author's Notes/Comments: 


Free Verse


Free Verse is an irregular form of poetry in which the content free of traditional rules of versification, (freedom from fixed meter or rhyme).


In moving from line to line, the poet's main consideration is where to insert line breaks. Some ways of doing this include breaking the line where there is a natural pause or at a point of suspense for the reader.


Following the direction of Walt Whitman, Ezra Pound and T.S.Eliot, many modern day poets use this particular form of expression.
