POETRY DOES NOT HAVE TO RHYME!

Walt Whitman
and Theodore Rilke et al!
and many others…
took us… all of us
to the beat of meter and… rhythm
… and the power of the individual word!

Rhyme has its place
in time,
and long considered… sublime.

Once upon a time…
we did rhyme.

Now we power up… with meter and words set free
to be themselves.
