As a geek who generally disdains poetry.......loved that poem.
Keep on truckin’!
A high compliment indeed, sir!
If it makes you feel better, this piece actually also works as prose. If you will notice, the stanzas are, for the most part, written in standard subject-predicate sentences. So you may call it free-verse, poetry, and prose all simultaneously. It was a nice experiment to avoid standard conventional poetic forms and devices such as rhyming and meter (both of which I excel at). But I still embedded it with enough alliteration and echoes of rhyme to appeal to poetry lovers.
Can’t wait for you to read more...!
