I like poetry
You can break the rule of grammar
You can write a sentence without punctuation I wont stop you or will I
You, can put, way, too much! punctuation in a sentence
You have to spell words right but don't have to use them well
or dew you?
You can write a long sentence about the poets ability to write a short sentence
You can rhyme for a time
then return to prose I suppose
You can let participles dangle
or hold them up
You don't care and neither should I
If it's not clear it's called a poetic expression
As long as it ends fine that is fine.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I told my college creative writing professor I didn't enjoy writing because I didn't know grammar. He told me to just write poetically then no one would notice.
I wrote this to be a bit silly yet true. I do enjoy poetry because I am free to take the rules then break them. This poem breaks rules just for fun. As you read remember fine (fee'-nay) is a music term meaning finished or end

Totally with you on breaking the rules. I do know them but have much more fun when breaking them and upsetting those tried and true poets of old. Yes, as a musician first of all, I remember - fine. Lovely and tantalizing poem, I enjoyed it very much. Lifted my poetical spirits, I appreciate that! Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
