Prose And Cons

Just finding myself musing about
This poesy stuff and all the tout :
Thinking aloud just trying to see,
A tiny bit of merit in poet-ree

Now, why struggle to add a rhymed line,
When sentences can do just as fine?

Painstakingly match the words at end
And force them with a rhyming bend?
Why bother with commas and colons and all
'Poetic' devices to add to the gall!!

There's no chance, u would agree,
To go on a wordy writing spree...

And let flow the true writer's hand,
Unfettered, unshackled into writing land!
For the reigns of rhyme and rules of line,
Will subdue the talent about to shine!

Then beat the words and shape them round,
Forced figures of speech fo fe found.

And how would you proceed anyway,
To write a sonnet or stanza perse?
When every line you bring to fore,
Must bear for one that went before?

It's too much work, I tell thee -
This funny business of poetry!

So why go to all those lengthy ends,
Even as prose so eloquently lends -
That unfailing ease, that poise, that grace,
More bulk, more meaning and wordiness!

So, I've stated, for better or for worse,
The pros of prose and the cons of verse

And Now look at that, what have we?
More trash dished out as poetry?!!
